WHAT IS THE BENEFIT

For proactive companies that want an independent health check on major projects

About IPR

Cohesion`s Independent Product Review (IPR) is a structured process that provides an objective, unbiased, in-depth and critical analysis of all the major checkpoints of a project or programme. As a result, organisations benefit substantially by gaining the insight and tools to improve the successful delivery of major projects in order to maximise results, acquire knowledge to apply to future projects and to get them back on track, if necessary.

Why IPR?

Projects by nature are temporary, high risk and costly and according the famous Standish Group`s Chaos Report, "only 26% of projects are successful, with success rate of large projects and programmes as low as 19%." Another study found that "The average loss was $13 million per project, with the largest single project failure costing $213 million."

IPR helps you to identify key areas of your project that require attention and suggest ways in which key concern areas can be addressed. Cohesion`s PMR team immerses itself in your project in a structured, positive, business focussed and sensitive way, conducting the review using a number of tried-and-tested tools and techniques.

Key Features & Benefits

Cohesion`s IPR is based on a well-formatted and interactive structure of key project checkpoints that include planning and launch; information gathering and observation; analysis and opinions; review/feedback and improvement facilitation; and handover and termination. This cyclical process not only produces an accurate review of the project, but results in heightened vigilance and care, improved processes, enhanced corporate and project governance, turn-around of failing projects, and ultimately peace-of-mind for all the stakeholders - from project managers, executive management to the project sponsor.
