Undertaking a remedial review of the IT infrastructure is an important step towards Business Transformation and a critical step in an overall Infrastructure Risk Management Plan. The industry term for this type of review is "Independent Verification and Validation."
Independent Verification and Validation, or IV&V, is an accepted industry "best practice" for reducing the risk associated with large-scale projects and environments. Typical characteristics of projects that can benefit from the use of IV&V services include projects and environments that:
- Are large, complex and/or mission critical
- Demand high levels of accuracy and quality
- Require the use of new technologies or methodologies not previously introduced within the target environment
- Are subject to external regulatory compliance controls
- Are highly visible to the market sector, the customer base and senior leadership
Independent Verification and Validation Validation answers the question "Are you building the right thing?" Verification answers the question "Are you building the thing right?"
