Project Quality Review Tool™
In 2010, The Standish Group International published their Chaos Report, which gathered information regarding IT projects from several thousand medium to large companies worldwide. The 2010 Chaos Report found –
- 65% of IT projects either absolutely failed or were challenged
- 73% of projects with labor cost less than $750k succeeded
- Only 3 % of projects with labor costs over $10 MM succeeded
Due to the time sensitive value proposition of projects, project governance is needed to ensure the quality of the project is being maintained by the project manager and team. The Project Quality Review Tool™, or PQRT™, provides that governance.

PQRT™ will enable you to improve project efficiency which can lead to customer satisfaction. PQRT™ will enable you to proactively keep projects on budget, on scope, and on time - OBOSOT™.
