Project Assurance
It is a given that businesses need to adapt quickly to keep up with the pace of the digital world. Either you are revamping your IT environment structure, moving from a legacy to a new system or implementing a brand new system, our skilled Project Assurance specialist will work with you to gain trust and confidence on the changes in your IT environment.
Project Assurance provides stakeholders with an independent viewpoint of risks associated with key strategic initiatives. At the same time, it provides project team members with a broader perspective on potential risks/issues that they may not see while in the midst of day-to-day management. The benefits can include risk/cost avoidance and/or identification of process improvement efficiencies besides providing a forward-looking perspective and early warning signs of key issues and risks.
How PwC can help
Some questions to consider:
|
We can carry out a high level assessment or dive deep into a project from the beginning right through to completion, making sure that appropriate milestones are set and adhered to throughout.
We can support you in evaluating the effectiveness of governance and controls over the project implementation to provide visibility to key stakeholders into the key project phases that is critical to the successful delivery of the project. Key project phases include:
- Blueprint review
- Data migration
- User acceptance testing
- Go-live readiness
- Post go-live issue management and resolution
As required, we can work with you pre- as well as post-project to audit systems and processes, and support you in assessing and dealing with risks. We can also support your reporting efforts on project quality toward stakeholders.
Working with project assurance professionals can help you make sure that security and controls are considered from the beginning – as far as possible. And you can be sure IT systems work as and when required, through a well-controlled implementation. Project assurance helps safeguard consistency across projects and ensures that you’re not violating compliance requirements. It promotes transparency and accountability, and helps assure the realisation of business or project benefits.
