Design & Project Assessment

We have developed an assessment tool that examines IT application designs and projects to identify vulnerabilities to the factors that cause most IT projects to struggle. This assessment helps surface potential problems so they can be addressed early, before they threaten the success of the project.

Benefits

  • Gets the basics of a project right--at the beginning, when there is an opportunity to lower the cost and fix problems
  • Identifies hidden assumptions and reduces misunderstandings that lead to mistakes
  • Makes sure the participants truly understand each other
  • Provides an independent analysis of the design and implementation strategy
  • Identifies impact on the organization that might lead to conflicts or unexpected side-effects
  • Identifies missing components or strategies

Steps in our process

  • Review project documentation and interview key project stakeholders
  • Analyze the project for potential problems
  • Present findings and make recommendations

Results

  • An organized and comprehensive assessment of the current state of the project
  • Recommendations on steps to remedy potential problems
