The aim is to ensure that these processes are comprehensive, strong, and can meet quality, compliance, and performance objectives. This Scope of Work outlines the requirements for a consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of the current IV&V processes, artifacts, deliverables, and standards utilized by LIPA to review Client LI Performance Metrics (Quantitative/Project Based). This project aims to identify improvement areas (processes, standards, controls, and documentation), ensure alignment with best practices, and enhance the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the IV&V processes. Additionally, the goal is to improve the quality and completeness of the deliverables required under each and to meet standards. The primary focus of this project encompasses the following key components: 1. Process Review and Gap Analysis: o Conduct a detailed review of the current IV&V processes, including methodologies, tools, and techniques. Perform a gap analysis to identify areas where the current processes do not meet best practices or organizational objectives. 2. Artifact and Deliverable Review: o Evaluate the current artifacts and deliverables produced during the IV&V process for quality, completeness, relevance, and effectiveness. Assess the documentation standards and templates used to support IV&V activities. 3. Standards Assessment: o Review the standards and guidelines that govern the IV&V processes and quality of the deliverables within LIPA, assessing their adequacy, alignment with external standards, and applicability to current and future metrics. 4. Recommendation Development: o Based on the review and analysis findings, develop actionable recommendations to im- prove the IV&V processes, artifacts, deliverables, standards, and guidelines. This should include suggestions for process optimization, template updates. 5. Standardizing Metric IV&V Process: Develop a comprehensive framework and procedural documentation for performance management. Define the IV&V process, specifying the depth of analysis required, review procedures, and associated artifacts for quantitative and qualitative/Project-based metrics. Review and enhance existing templates or develop new templates, supporting documen- tation protocols, procedures, and training materials. 1. Quality Standards for Metric Deliverables: o Identify and establish consistent quality standards and review guidelines for various met- ric deliverables in different phases, such as Project Justification Documents (PJDs), Pro- ject Implementation Plans (PIPs), Requirement Documents, Requirements Traceability Matrixes (RTMs), IT test plans, and more. o Establish a set of comprehensive guidelines that will ensure the successful completion of project deliverables to meet the highest quality standards, completeness, and expecta- tions. The objective of these guidelines is to help achieve the project's goals and adhere to set metrics standards, which in turn will ensure the project's overall success and de- sired outcomes. o Create standardized IV&V reporting templates for quantitative and project-based (quali- tative) metrics to ensure uniformity and clarity in reporting procedures. o Develop a framework to review the supporting data to validate quantitative metrics. 2. Skills Development and Training: o Identify specific skills required for IV&V across all practice areas. o Develop training plans for newly developed/updated templates and processes for LIPA Subject Matter Experts. Deliverables: 1. A comprehensive report detailing the findings from the review of the IV&V processes, artifacts, deliverables, and standards, including a gap analysis (Word/PowerPoint). 1. A set of recommendations for enhancing the IV&V framework, focusing on process improve- ments, artifact and deliverable quality, and standards alignment (Word/PowerPoint). 1.
