Project assurance is a discipline within project management that helps you to gain true oversight of the health of your projects.
The role is designed to supply your project board with a true visibility of how a project is progressing, any identified risk, and the expected outcomes of a project.
Broader than quality assurance, above all project assurance should be unbiased, independent and provide a true reflection of risk status, quality and project deliverables.

"A Critical Friend is an individual or organisation that is trusted to speak difficult truths and see solutions that might otherwise be overlooked. The concept of a Critical Friend is especially useful where complexity is high, and where political or personal agendas, or workplace culture might be colouring how issues are viewed. We always aim to be a Critical Friend to our clients across all projects we’re involved in, sharing knowledge at every step."
The UK’s exit from the EU required DEFRA to deliver complex projects simultaneously across the breadth of sectors it manages. This represented an unprecedented challenge for DEFRA, and required employees to operate outside their expertise, to understand both policy and delivery. Reed Professional Services was engaged to provide exceptionally broad-based PPM skills, knowledge, capacity, and capability to help DEFRA deliver 90+ projects required to safely deliver the EU Exit.
Due to the breadth of sectors the DAs and BPs were required to work in, we deployed team members with a range of skills and experience including governance, assurance, reporting, risk, issue and dependency management, and planning, from across a wide range of sectors: Health, MOD, Finance, Public and Private Sector. Additionally, we ensured the team had experience in a range of project management methodologies - including PRINCE2, Waterfall, and Agile - enabling them to select and implement, even modify the methodology best suited to each project.
