3.1: Independent Review
Reinvent Independent Review. Other Information:
The traditional role of an Independent Validation and Verification (IV&V) contractor is to provide a third-party audit of
program products and procedures. It evaluates the “past performance” of the program at a given milestone, but does not address
management of future risk. A new role for Independent Risk Review (IRR) should be established on major IT projects in which
a third-party would provide Government and contractor management with an ongoing assessment of cost, schedule and performance
risk. The IRR role should be “end to end”—starting with the initial acquisition planning and continuing through the completion
of deployment.
