Project Assurance

The role of the project director or business owner of a project carries a high level of responsibility. The project owner is usually responsible for considerable expenditure and a degree of risk which is associated with introducing new business behaviours and systems.

The first steps in mitigating project risk are to establish a sound governance structure and ensure that project managers provide timely information on project progress and risks. However, often this is not enough.

If you are unsure of the status of the projects under your control, Oakton can assist you by offering an independent assessment of how well the project or program is performing against your organisational objectives as well as its adherence to relevant processes and standards.

An experienced project manager from outside the organisation can provide an objective assessment on the health of your projects, based on agreed criteria.

A project health check is a vehicle that allows management to identify and understand the true state of a project. Such information facilitates effective tracking of project progress and associated deliverables.
