InitioStar Introduces ‘Recover Audit’ for IT Projects
Recover failed IT projects through independent and professional project management from InitioStar.
London, United Kingdom, April 08, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Projects fail many reasons but the root causes are associated with systemic failures in resource, time, cost or scope. “As industry consultants, frequently we see in the press and elsewhere, tales of IT projects going wrong, timescales sliding, budgets overrunning and scope exploding. Often resulting in acrimony between the parties involved, systems delayed or scrapped?” says Gary Lowrey, Director at InitioStar.
Lack of a thorough and professional evaluation of business requirements and a sound project plan are just some of the reasons for failure. But from a supplier’s perspective this is just as costly as the client side and the collective inability to see early tell-tale signs of project failure compound the problems that subsequently come to light.
InitioStar has helped many companies overcome IT project failure. By building on past experiences the company has continually refined its ‘Project Audit’ service to identify whether and how IT projects can be recovered. It establishes an audit trail, what when wrong, what corrective actions can be applied and what alternative courses of action might be available. It uses three simple steps:
- Compile a detailed and independent review of the project and the risks associated with it, building a project diary from project initiation to current day, identifying tasks, responsibilities and funds committed with an assessment of project scope, planned and delivered.
- Establish corrective actions or necessary alternatives to bring a project in-line with the contract and project plan, or changes to ensure convergence between currently established requirements and the original contract and project plan.
- Facilitate a forum between all parties where alternative courses of action can be discussed with corresponding implications on scope, timescale, resources and cost.
Gary Lowrey adds “Taking a few simple steps with an independent and objective project manager can bring a project back to live, see it completed and save a business a significant sum of money that might otherwise be wasted. At the same time key staff previously engaged in trying to bring the project back-in-line can be released. Equally, where a project has irretrievably gone wrong, an independent review can indicate other potential courses of action.”
