Independent Project Oversight

Is your organization ready for independent oversight?
Are you at a point where you can’t see the forest for the trees? Are problems being caught too late causing unexpected, disruptive, and costly problems later in the project? It may be time to bring in an independent professional to provide an impartial assessment of the project and its work products. Independent Project Oversight is a process in which a completely independent party with no personal, financial, or emotional ties to the project evaluates the work products created by the project team. The objective of this oversight is to identify issues as early as possible and provide unbiased recommendations for immediate corrective action. Project Oversight can also provide recommendations for ongoing process improvements.

Independent Project Oversight or Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V)?
Similarities between Independent Project Oversight and IV&V: Both services provide independent assessments of the work products created by a project team.

Differences: Project Oversight focuses on project management processes and deliverables (plans, schedules, risks, issues, etc.) and thus is applicable to a broad set of projects. IV&V is a software engineering discipline that focuses on technical assessments of software development deliverables.
