Program/Project Management Business Need

The selected vendor will conduct formal, Annual Project Audits as required by statute. The selected vendor will review and identify the current health and prognosis for success of the Project. In addition to the Annual Project Audit, the vendor will meet with management on a quarterly basis to review progress, milestones and recommendations. This will help keep the project focused and measured against its plans.

A project audit is a structured, independent measurement, assessing whether an agency project and its associated activities comply with organizational policies, processes and procedures. As a result, this audit will allow the program directors, project sponsor and project team a view into the active assignment, evaluating current results and pinpointing areas of improvement necessary to successfully complete the project.
