Rescue & Recovery

Project in trouble?  We know, we’ve been there too.  Most importantly though, we know what to look for and how to overcome it.  Drawing on years of experience and proven methods, Answer can clear the path for your investment to be a success by offering an independent, objective view of your project or portfolio against industry best practice.  Our recommendations will ensure that your project is put firmly back on track. We will provide the answers to the following:

  • Is the project built upon solid foundations and what factors are threatening success?
  • Is the project going to achieve what was intended?
  • Are your suppliers delivering?


The outcome and recommendations will depend on the answers. Typically we would expect your project to respond to one of the following optimisation initiatives:
 

  • Rapid and considered diagnosis of significant risks and issues followed by identification, prioritisation and progression of the architectural, process, organisational or technical changes required for mitigation and resolution to recover lost ground.
  • Agile process, tools and technique adoption/improvement to optimise delivery
  • Expert non functional requirement analysis to identify and resolve technical limitations such as system performance, scalability and extensibility.
  • The application of automated testing cycles and remedial action taken. This is followed by the provision of tools to continue the process yourself, constantly refining your performance levels and productivity.


Sometimes the answers dictate that a project restart involving a full or partial rebuild is needed.  We are not afraid of this outcome and will provide you with options and a dedicated team of experts to get the job done, enabling you to meet your project deadlines.  On other occasions, the answers simply point to augmenting your existing team with some of our diverse experience and insight. 

Whatever the answer, our approach is the same.  We believe in empowering our clients, our aim being to bring success to their business by helping them make their projects succeed. Contact us to start the road to recovery.
 


We don't use Answer for day to day tech consultancy. The Answer team has huge amounts of intellectual capital so we bring them in when we need their specialist expertise, big brains and creativity.
