Plan & Schedule Review

Projects succeed or fail based upon how carefully they are planned, and how deliberately they are executed. Click for more...

Migration and Test Plan Review

When moving from one system to another, current operations must be migrated onto the new system. The more critical the system, the more important the migration plan. Click for more...

Network Security Assessment 

Vulnerabilities vary widely from system to system due to the complex interdependence of hardware and software configurations. Many systems are needlessly compromised due to inappropriate configurations and incomplete security test coverage. How do you know that your system is sufficiently secure? Click for more...

Acceptance Test Design Validation

The design of acceptance tests is critical. It is not uncommon for a system to pass all the individual acceptance test steps, yet fail to perform in ways that the users need it to work. How can this happen? Click for more...

Risk Assessment

Successful organizations actively look for ways to trade small amounts of increased overhead or cost for large amounts of risk reduction. Click for more... 

Project Oversight

Projects get into needless trouble when early warning signs of difficulty are not seen or acted upon until it's too late to prevent an expensive impact on the project (i.e. time and/or money). Click for more...

Documentation Review

Documentation is critical to the successful use of the system by its users. Often system users have small but critical documentation needs that fall outside of the usual "stock documentation" that is provided. If the documentation is not sufficient, the use of a perfectly good system can become very troublesome to both the user and the installer. In some cases, its use can even come to a halt shortly after an otherwise successful installation. Click for more...

Training Review and Evaluation

Any system requires adequate training for its users. A training plan should be submitted as early as practical in the project. It should explain the training in enough detail so that you can tell in advance if the training coverage will be sufficient and appropriate for the actual system users. Click for more...
