Program Management

Solvern Innovations follows processes consistent with the Project Management Institutes body of knowledge (PMBOK) which includes PMP certification. Solvern Innovations has adapted a Quality Assurance (QA) process developed and used by Industry leaders to design, develop, and deploy new features into networks, and incorporated it in the project implementation process. This QA process, called QGates, is ISO 9000- certified and has been used successfully since 1984. This integration of the best SE (Systems Engineering) and QA practices ensures the successful development and deployment of all projects undertaken by Solvern Innovations. This unique approach to the project planning and project implementation processes allows us to achieve the “To-Be” environment while sustaining performance integrity and minimizing risk. The project implementation process includes QA checkpoints throughout development commitment, integration and test, system verification test, first field test, and operational evaluation. It further ensures continued coordination with and approval from our customers at every step. Each QA checkpoint evaluates the products of each step in the implementation process against specific exit and entry criteria. If the requisite criteria are not met, the project's implementation progress is halted and appropriate corrective actions performed.
