IV&V is an accepted industry “best practice” for reducing the risk associated with large-scale projects. Typical characteristics of projects that can benefit from the use of IV&V services include projects that: 

• Are large, complex and/or mission critical
• Require the use of new technologies or methodologies not previously introduced within the target environment
• Results demand high levels of accuracy and quality
• Are highly visible to senior leadership
• Require verification and validation from external organizations

Through robust IV&V, the following benefits are expected:

• Ensuring overall project success
• Infusing additional quality checks into management of a project
• Providing quality baselines to be passed on to future phases and/or projects (e.g., lessons learned)
• Providing predictive analysis via modeling and simulation capabilities on the effects of changes to process, function, and data and their potential impact to business, system, and infrastructure performance
• Providing increased visibility into the project at all levels
• Reducing project lifecycle cost by reducing impacts of change through early identification
• Providing for best practices, knowledge transfer, and specific subject matter expertise
