Case Study
Non-Profit Humanitarian Services Organization
This international organization is a leader in providing humanitarian services and relieving suffering world-wide. Thus it does not burden itself with a costly internal application development organization, and instead relies on solution providers.
When the organization decided to upgrade its records-keeping application, their board of directors turned to Valenti Partners to provide project management oversight.
VP oversaw the creation of business requirements, a test plan, conducted a technical risk assessment of the application vendor's architecture, and built a realistic delivery schedule.
These tools and processes were turned over to the project director so that the organization would be equipped to manage the remaining phases of the project .
