Audits / Reviews
Our Auditing / Review Services uses proven best-practices to increase the chances of
outcomes that are in line with expectations – whatever it may be in order to pursue
project excellence.
Many organizations have difficulty delivering projects. Part of the reason is that managers
and sponsors have a hard time understanding the true state of a project. In many cases,
the project runs independently until it becomes obvious that there are problems with
schedule, cost or quality. At that point (when it is obvious) it is usually too late to meet the
original expectations.
Project audits can help determine the true state of a project, and whether the project
looks to be on track to finish successfully. Audits can also specifically point out whether
good project management rigor and structure is in place.
This second point is very important – perhaps more so than the first. If the project
manager has a good foundation (Project Charter) and if the project manager has a grasp
of the schedule and budget required to complete the work and if the project manager is
pro-actively managing schedule, budget, risk, scope, quality, communication, etc., there is
a high probability that the project will be successful in delivering to expectations.
In addition to understanding the state of individual projects, an ongoing project auditing /
review service can help an organization better understand whether standard project
management processes are being followed, as a minimum, and point out advanced project
methodologies that go above and beyond standard processes in use today. Whether they
be processes as contained in the various Project Management Body of Knowledge
(PMBOK) such as those provided by the Project Management Institute (PMI in the US), the
Association for Project Management (APM in the UK), the American Society for the
Advancement of Project Management (premier association for highly experienced and
seasoned project executives in the US), International Association of Project Management
(IPMA) Members (various countries who have their own processes for the discipline) or a
combination of various processes from various sources. If they are not, it may highlight
the need for additional training, reinforcement of the standards and stronger governance.

Project Audits can help you assess the current state of a project, and tells you if your
project management processes are being followed. We can help you understand whether
everything is on-track or if you should be concerned. The PEG Advantage comes into play
here since we specialize in troubled project turnarounds and can quickly diagnose and fix
any outstanding project issues resulting from the audit or review.

Project Reviews by Senior Project Executives
Project Reviews are only executed by Senior Project Executives with over 25 years of
project management experience and matched to your industry with at least 20 years in it.
The Project Review is not meant to be an audit. It is an engagement where the Advisor
serves the project manager in evaluating the project in a consultative manner, not running
checks per se, but a trusted advisor to the project manager to gain understanding and
offer suggestions for continuous improvement based on the type of project and industry.
