Quality Management IV&V Plan Template
If you are the Project Manager on a project whose complexity level has been
calculated to be Medium or High, you will need to complete an Independent
Verification and Validation plan.
For a Medium complexity project, you are required to have one IV&V
performed by a project manager with qualifications commensurate with your
project’s complexity who works for another unit in Technology Services.
That IV&V must be scheduled after the Planning Phase and before the
Execution and Control Phase of the project.
For a High Complexity project, you are required to have an IV&V
performed by an external project manager with qualifications commensurate
with your project. This must be someone outside the University. You must
plan for an IV&V following the Planning Phase, one during each year of the
project’s execution phase, and a final one in the Closeout phase, for a
minimum of three.
Contact the PMO to schedule an IV&V reviewer.
