Software development and IT projects

IT projects often run into difficulty because scope and changes were not properly documented. We support customers and suppliers from specifications and project governance through acceptance and dispute resolution.

How we help

  • Bespoke software, ERP, interfaces, migration, agile development and implementation.
  • Specifications, customer dependencies, milestones, acceptance, change requests and payment.
  • Usage rights, source code access, escrow, defects, delay, termination and transition.

A practical example

An ERP project exceeds its budget and timetable. Assessment separates original scope, authorised changes, customer dependencies and recorded defects before payment and remediation claims can be negotiated.

What the assessment covers

We start with the intended outcome, the parties involved and the applicable territories. The next step is to examine the documents and evidence, identify deadlines and compare the available contractual or procedural options. The scope of work and fees are agreed before substantive work begins.

Documents for the first discussion

Contract and schedules, backlog, tickets, acceptance records, change requests and project correspondence.

What if a deadline is already running?

Please give the exact deadline and send the relevant correspondence when making contact. Do not assume that an enquiry alone creates a retainer or that a deadline is being monitored.
