Projects can get quickly off track and in trouble without proper project management oversight. When this happens, projects can experience cost overruns, schedule delays, mismanaged scope changes, quality issues, and team member dissatisfaction –to name a few. Organizations often do not realize a project is in trouble until it is too late. As such, they take a reactive approach, wait until something bad happens, and then conduct a postmortem on what caused the negative event. One way to help ensure that your project does not get into trouble is to be proactive and conduct project audits throughout the life cycle of a project.

A project audit is "An independent, unbiased structured assessment of an organization's project management methods and policies in managing the cost, schedule, resources, scope, and quality of a project, program, or portfolio of projects." Conducting a project audit will help expose any problems that may have occurred or are about to happen and, in turn, will provide you with an opportunity to take corrective action and get the issue fixed before it negatively impacts the project.

The M2 Consulting Group Ltd. can help you uncover problems before they occur and cause your project to be unsuccessful. Our audit approach involves qualitative and quantitative analysis of an organization's project management methods and policies. It can be applied to projects, programs, portfolios, and specific knowledge areas such as risk, quality, and scope management.
