Project QA

Challenge: Deliver project results consistently
Solution: Oxygen Project Quality Assurance

The SmartStart Project QA by Oxygen is based on our Programme Management teams’ years of project experience. We approach all audits with pragmatism developed through many years of managing projects.Projects by their nature are risky undertakings. Projects attempt to do something that is unfamiliar with a temporary team of people that must be brought together and organised into an efficient unit very quickly.

The solution covers the standard Project QA phases of:

Risk assessment: Oxygen recognises project risk varies according to many factors which can be measured and controlled. The Oxygen tools and templates asses the risk factors to determine the appropriate level of governance and QA to ensure project goals are met.
Quality assurance: To ensure a project is delivered within time, budget and with an acceptable level of quality, Oxygen offers a number of Quality Assurance prepacked solutions. These solutions range from a total quality management approach to point in timeproject reviews which can be utilised at any stage of a project and are tailored to project complexity.
Health checks: Health checks of in progress projects against industry standards ensure that professional project management techniques are being utilised and identify actions to reduce current or potential risks.
