Pre-execution and pre-implementation audits for IT projects

Pre-execution audit and pre-implementation audit

Verify whether your IT project is ready for execution

Organize business goals, requirements, data, integrations and responsibilities before work begins. Define what needs to be delivered, confirm the project scope and identify the areas that still require clarification.

Check your project readiness

What is a pre-implementation audit?

A pre-execution audit and pre-implementation audit assess whether a project is ready for execution or still requires refinement. The analysis verifies the consistency of assumptions, completeness of requirements and clarity of the project scope.

Verified project scope

Define what is included in the project and what remains outside it.

Organized requirements

Clarify functional and non-functional requirements before execution.

Identified risks and gaps

Recognize organizational, technical, integration and budget risks.

Project readiness assessment

Determine whether the project can begin or requires additional preparation.

The effects of a pre-implementation audit

Organize the project before implementation, when changes are easier and less expensive to manage.

  • Reduce the number of changes during implementation.

  • Improve the predictability of costs and deadlines.

  • Organize communication between business and IT.

  • Compare supplier offers using the same assumptions.

  • Prepare the project for a smoother start.

Make project decisions based on verified information.

Clear project scope

Confirm what should be delivered as part of the project.

Complete requirements

Organize requirements, user roles, exceptions and priorities.

Identified risk areas

Discover gaps in data, processes, systems and integrations.

Better project decisions

Create a reliable basis for pricing, scheduling and supplier selection.

How does a pre-implementation audit work?

Define goals

We determine what problem the project should solve and what result the implementation should deliver.

Analyze the current state

We review processes, data sources, systems, dependencies and existing constraints.

Organize requirements

We verify functional and non-functional requirements, user roles, exceptions and priorities.

Confirm the scope and risks

We define the project boundaries and assess organizational, technical, integration and budget risks.

Assess project readiness

You receive information on whether the project can begin or which areas must be organized first.

What does a pre-implementation audit include?

Business goals and expected results

  • Definition of the problem the project should solve

  • Identification of future system users

  • Verification of the project's business justification

Clarifying the implementation scope 

Clearly define what should be delivered, which processes the project covers and what business results it should achieve. 

Preparing a request for proposal 

Use specific technical and organizational information to prepare a precise and comparable request for proposal. 

Further technological consulting 

Analyze areas that require a deeper review, selection of suitable solutions or additional process organization. 

Starting execution with explitia 

Move from analysis to project execution using the scope, requirements and recommendations prepared during the audit.
