Governance, Compliance & Quality Assurance

IS & programme governance

Structure the bodies, the responsibilities, the traceability of requirements and the phase-passage conditions of a transformation programme.

EN UNE PHRASE

Governance exists to decide, not to meet.

THE PROBLEM

The situations that bring us in

  • 01

    Decisions are taken outside the bodies, then contested later.

  • 02

    Nobody is named as responsible for a requirement or a deliverable.

  • 03

    Risks are listed but trigger no action.

  • 04

    Milestones are passed without the criteria being checked.

  1. 01THE PROBLEM

    A programme whose structuring decisions dissolve between the parties, and whose milestones lose their meaning.

  2. 02WHAT AXENEO DOES

    We define the bodies and their mandate, the responsibility matrix, the repository of traced requirements and the quality gates with their criteria.

  3. 03THE RESULT

    Decisions documented, responsibilities owned, and milestones whose passing can be demonstrated.

What we do

Governance framework

  • Bodies, mandates and escalation circuits
  • Responsibility matrix and roles
  • Requirements repository and traceability matrix
  • Risk register and mitigation plans

Control

  • Quality gates and passage criteria
  • Acceptance criteria for deliverables
  • Deliverable reviews and minutes that stand up to scrutiny
  • Governance indicators and reporting

The Governance, Compliance & Quality Assurance method

This domain sits within the pillar’s overall method.
  1. 01

    Scoping

    Quality enters the project with the scoping: requirements formalised, testable, prioritised and linked to an identified need.

  2. 02

    Requirements

    Every requirement gets an owner, an acceptance criterion and a link to the test that will verify it. Traceability is built as you go, not reconstructed afterwards.

  3. 03

    Quality plan

    Roles, expected deliverables, reviews, quality gates and go-live conditions. The setup is sized to what the programme is worth.

  4. 04

    Testing

    Test strategy by level, coverage reported against requirements, representative data sets and controlled environments.

  5. 05

    Validation

    Functional validation, integration, regression. Gaps are qualified and settled in governance, not absorbed quietly.

  6. 06

    Compliance

    Where a standard applies, the body of evidence and the remediation plans are built continuously, through to the audit.

USE CASES

Where we step in

  • Multi-party programme

    Several organisations, several suppliers: define who decides what, on what basis and at what moment.

  • Functional governance

    Keep a programme functionally coherent when its workstreams advance at different speeds.

IS & programme governance: let’s talk about your context

Whether the subject is a programme to secure, an acceptance process to structure or a certification to prepare, the first question is the same: what exactly are we committing to, and how do we demonstrate it?
