We will use our in-house developed methodology based on our Cybersecurity, Technology Risk, and Privacy Practice\u2019s extensive experience performing similar reviews. Our methodology is rooted in industry recognized standard setting bodies such as: \u2022 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) \u2022 Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) \u2022 International Standards Organization (ISO) \u2022 Project Management Institute\u2019s (PMI) Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) \u2022 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard (Std.) 1490-2003 \u2022 Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Development Standards \u2022 International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC2) \u2022 IEEE Std 1058-1998 Standard for Software Project Management Plans \u2022 IEEE Std 828-2005 Standard for Software Configuration Management Plans \u2022 IEEE Std 730-2002 Standard for Software Quality Assurance Plans \u2022 IEEE Std 1061-1998 Standard for Software Quality Metrics Methodology \u2022 Industry standards for IV&V IEEE Std.1012-2004 \u2022 IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) version 3 Our work plan consists of four key phases as illustrated in the diagram below and further detailed in the following pages. Our team invests time up front to clearly define a project plan, which provides a framework for operations. It will map out the project\u2019s goals and clearly indicate efficient paths to attain them. Our approach to providing (IT) IV&V services involves defining a formal project management approach, including a project schedule. The (IT) IV&V project schedule is based on the defined work breakdown structure (\u201cWBS\u201d), which shows the relationship between all deliverables, activities, and resources required to complete the (IT) IV&V project. The approach we use to develop the project plan and schedule consists of the following activities: Define and Document (IT) IV&V Management Plan Develop (IT) IV&V Project Schedule Document Communication Plan Project Assessment Report Baseline assessment of the Project Management Plan and the Projects' WBS to assess the suitability of the current plan and future activities Identify and communicate any forseable impacts/ roadblocks of the Project Plan related to procurements and major deadlines Establish reporting criteria for project progress, assessment results, budget, and scope Identify thresholds or triggers as to when to notify the PM and key stakeholders of significant risk or impact to the overall project schedule, scope, or budget Define the project activities and deliverables to be tracked by the WBS Assign resources and estimate duration for each project activity Align major milestones and phase gate reviews with the master Project schedule Meet with key project teams to discuss and develop the (IT) IV&V Management Plan Establish agreed-upon goals and targets Review historical data to identify previous issues, root causes, or potential roadblocks We recommend approaching the (IT) IV&V project as a formal project that runs alongside the main project. The (IT) IV&V project approach and schedule should be synchronized with the main project schedule and continually monitored and adjusted, as required, to remain synchronized. \u2022 Kickoff Presentation: Used to formally kick off the (IT) IV&V project to make sure that all stakeholders are aligned and that the project is set up for success. \u2022 Project Charter: Authorizes the (IT) IV&V project and identifies the initial requirements that satisfy stakeholder needs and expectations. \u2022 (IT) IV&V Management Plan: Identifies how the (IT) IV&V project will be planned, executed, monitored, controlled, and closed, and guides the decision-making that occurs throughout the (IT) IV&V project. \u2022 (IT) IV&V Project Schedule and WBS: Show the relationship between all deliverables, activities, and resources required to complete the (IT) IV&V project. \u2022 (IT) IV&V Weekly and Monthly Status Reports/Meetings: Provides comprehensive updates of (IT) IV&V project progress and assessment results, reports on strengths and deficiencies, and identifies recommendations. \u2022 Meeting Minutes: Summarizes any formal (IT) IV&V project meetings. \u2022 Tracking Tool: Tracks project risks, issues, action items, and decisions. Continuing with our iterative approach, the next phase is focused on conducting verification and validation activities to assess the work products (i.e., deliverables) produced by a project team and determine whether they meet expectations. We believe it is very important to instill structure and discipline in the work product creation, submission, and review process as early in the program as possible to prevent rework. CohnReznick\u2019s approach to reviewing implementation deliverables, documentations and artifacts includes the following activities that show the typical process used to review project deliverables and provide a formal deliverable review report: Define and Document Baseline Expectations Documents (BEDA) Conduct review of the deliverables Conduct Test of the deliverables where applies Gather documents, artifacts and relavant information Analyze deliverables versus BEDA Assemble Test and review results Provide initial drafts of deliverable baseline expectations documents or artifacts Define acceptance criteria for deliverables Define Test Enviroment Achieve concurence amonst key stakeholders and communicate Program governance \u2022 Baseline Expectation Document and Acceptance (BEDA) Criteria: For every deliverable, create a BEDA that defines what is required for the execution of the agency project. CohnReznick strongly suggests that BEDA criteria be created and agreed upon by each of the key stakeholders within the program. The small incremental effort associated with creating a thorough BEDA prior to creating a deliverable will yield benefits to the project in terms of greater efficiency and lower risk by limiting deliverable re-work, which negatively impacts both the developer of the deliverable and the review and acceptance teams.", "samples": [{"hash": "fTnurKhkjgP", "uri":

TALLAHASSEE, FL 32301 Florida Department of Management Services RFP No 21-80101507-RFP Tech Valley Talent\u2019s (TVT) work approach and methodology for providing IV&V services is based on the confirmation that IV&V is a project lifecycle process that independently and objectively reviews and evaluates that a specific product, service, or system meets the business specifications and that it fulfills its intended purpose. The primary focus of the Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) Contractor is to work with the client to ensure that the products developed, and processes employed by a Project meet specified requirements, employ best practices, and adhere to industry and state standards. TVT\u2019s IV&V teams facilitates early detection and correction of errors, enhance management insight into risks, provide findings and recommendations, and ensure compliance with project scope, schedule, and budget requirements. By supporting the Project\u2019s development lifecycle processes and performing periodic review of project artifacts, the IV&V Contractor validates that the Project is being managed and controlled according to the approved and baselined project plans. Essentially, the IV&V vendor The success of IV&V engagements for State of Florida projects is increased by the IV&V team\u2019s ability to successfully manage the IV&V engagement. To that end, TVT incorporates into our own projects the same principles of project management that we expect to find on the projects for which we perform IV&V services. This includes coordinating the work of a multi-disciplinary team, and collaborating with the functional or business clients, prime contractor (and sub-contractors, if any), and Information Technology Services. Our collaboratively approach and proactive findings has resulted in the identifying and resolving of issues, risk and potential project blockers thus improving the success rate of the OEL project.
