Our processes and methodologies are both proven and evolving. They are based on industry standards, best practices, and years of experience conducting IV&V for state projects. Each process is continually reviewed against established and recognized standards and the ever-changing needs of the IV&V industry. The importance of the IV&V services cannot be understated as Florida looks to enhance or support information system, policy, and regulatory changes. Our methodology focuses on activities that provide the most value based on specific project needs, such as identifying and prioritizing deficiencies, issues, and critical risks, while recommending realistic mitigation strategies. Our processes provide value and support Florida objectives. Our approach for Florida is illustrated in Exhibit 1.

What distinguished this project from other projects is how it promoted the principles and processes associated with the PMBOK® Guide. EY’s IV&V methodology is an explicit risk quantitative process that proactively identifies the interrelationship of factors and conditions that could impede the success of a project. It is aligned with leading industry standards and models such as the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 12207: Systems and software engineering – software life cycle processes. Our IV&V methodology is a fact-based process that utilizes a proprietary risk prediction toolset coupled with advanced analytical simulations and frameworks to provide a quantitative view of the impact of risks. The complex nature of a project is identified by modeling the interrelationships between key project complexity factors and the risk impact on project objectives. In this manner, hidden issues and risks are uncovered so the root cause of problems can be identified. The forward-looking macro view of the program reveals the importance of effective project management during the execution phase, and provides a clear understanding of how the pre- project processes including benefits/inventive merit, complexity factors, risk determination, project selection, team formation, and aligned governance ultimately impact the successful outcomes of the project. This approach also effectively considers the importance of a properly designed and effectively implemented program governance process. The overall IV&V methodology is designed to provide answers to critical questions, both from the executive and project management perspective, including those shown in the following table. • Is there proper transparency implemented to provide timely and accurate identification of risks and issues? • Is there proper visibility and controls in place to provide accu...

We have no formal or informal alliances or affiliations with any software or implementation vendors, and we have never received compensation from any of them. We are truly independent in fact and appearance. Our Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) approach is based upon the best practices we have used in managing numerous, largescale systems projects for our state and local government and higher education clients. Our approach goes beyond software development activities that are the focus of IV&V standards such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 1012, to include the entire project life cycle. A general description of the key IV&V activities we perform in each phase of a typical project’s life cycle are described below.

Gartner consultant delivery teams are expert on using our integrated methodologies supported by our expansive research. Our approach is based on industry standards and best practices and is flexible enough to evolve and adapt to varying needs, changing priorities and diverse risk profiles encountered on projects. Rather than a recycled IV&V approach, we use findings and discussions with the agency as the basis for calibrating our IV&V services throughout the life of the project — working with each agency to evaluate, regularly reassess and redefine the IV&V services which are truly needed. Furthermore, Gartner is an independent and objective firm that does not sell hardware, software or system integration services. Our rigorous standards to ensure independence and objectivity is the cornerstone of our business, and when working with Gartner Consulting, Florida will know that its best interests are being protected by our associates. Our approach is comprehensive and flexible and positions us to participate in projects as committed IV&V team members. Figure 1. Gartner IV&V High Level Approach and Work Plan Framework
