Planning, approval, and execution oversight

As your trusted advisors, we’ll ensure that every step aligns with your goals and delivers maximum impact. Your success is our priority!

Approval

There are four stages of the project approval process:

  1. Business analysis

    Use SIMM19A for all your business analysis needs.

  2. Alternatives analysis

    SIMM19B will help you with determining and documenting alternative solutions for your project.

  3. Solution analysis

    We developed SIMM19C to make documenting your solution easier and more streamlined.

  4. Project readiness and approval

    SIMM19D will help walk you through the final assessment and approval process.
