Almond Consulting Group Inc. xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx Overview of Almond Consulting Consulting’s IV&V Methodology Almond Consulting uses a 5 Step Methodology for IV&V. Our risk-based methodology conforms to Best Practices, relevant international standards, and regulations/guidelines from government agencies. Our Methodology provides a uniform framework in which we train our consultants. This helps us prepare them for IV&V engagements in which we play a leadership role as well as engagements in which we augment IV&V teams using the client’s methodology. A high level view of the Methodology is provided in Figure 1 and described below. The overall objective of Almond Consulting’s IV&V Methodology is to establish documented evidence that the system does what it has been designed to do and will continue to operate correctly in the future. As shown in Figure 1, the output of the methodology includes an IV&V Documentation Package that provides objective evidence that all software requirements have been implemented correctly and completely. This includes evidence that the system produces the intended results and that all functionality is traceable to system requirements. The Methodology is driven by a Management Process that ensures that each of the 5 Steps in the Methodology is followed correctly, completely, on-schedule, and within budget. When Almond Consulting manages an IV&V engagement we take full responsibility for seeing that the appropriate documentation is produced in each of the Steps and that this documentation meets agreed upon quality objectives. These quality objectives must be consistent with the company’s Quality System. We produce regular Activity/Task reports that document management awareness and controls (including Anomaly reports and resolutions). These reports become part of the IV&V Documentation Package.

Part 3 – 4.4.3 Work plan and IV&V methodology EY received the PMI Distinguished Project Award for IV&V work on the Web Infrastructure Treatment Services (WITS project at the Florida Department of Children and Families. What distinguished this project from other projects is how it promoted the principles and processes associated with the PMBOK® Guide. EY’s IV&V methodology is an explicit risk quantitative process that proactively identifies the interrelationship of factors and conditions that could impede the success of a project. It is aligned with leading industry standards and models such as the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 12207: Systems and software engineering – software life cycle processes. Our IV&V methodology is a fact-based process that utilizes a proprietary risk prediction toolset coupled with advanced analytical simulations and frameworks to provide a quantitative view of the impact of risks. The complex nature of a project is identified by modeling the interrelationships between key project complexity factors and the risk impact on project objectives. In this manner, hidden issues and risks are uncovered so the root cause of problems can be identified. The forward-looking macro view of the program reveals the importance of effective project management during the execution phase, and provides a clear understanding of how the pre- project processes including benefits/inventive merit, complexity factors, risk determination, project selection, team formation, and aligned governance ultimately impact the successful outcomes of the project. This approach also effectively considers the importance of a properly designed and effectively implemented program governance process. The overall IV&V methodology ...
