Business Improvement Architects uses Project Audits as an opportunity to uncover the issues, concerns and challenges encountered in the execution of a project. Often referred to as a "Project Health Check", it affords the project manager, project sponsor and project team an interim view of what has gone well and what needs to be improved with the project to successfully complete it. If done at the close of a project, a Project Audit can be used to develop "success criteria" for future projects by providing a forensic review. This review will provide an opportunity to learn what elements of the project were successfully managed and which ones presented some challenges. It will also help the organization identify what it needs to do so that mistakes are not repeated on future projects.
Our project management consulting process undertakes three in-depth phases for our project health checks and audits:
Phase 1: Planning the Health Check/Audit
Phase 2: Project Analysis
Phase 3: Report and Recommendations
Each of our project health checks and audits include:
- A comprehensive review of all project documents including the business requirements, scope statement, project plan, project risk assessment, change requests, communication, stakeholder analysis, etc.
- Meeting with all members of the project team, both individually and as a team.
- Meeting with the sponsor, customers and other stakeholders, functional management and vendors, consultants and/or suppliers who have a direct impact or influence on the project.
- A review of all project processes, tools, documentation and other directly related reports.
