APM Assurance Specific Interest Group (SIG)

"P3 Assurance is the process of providing confidence to stakeholders that projects, programmes and portfolios will achieve their scope, time, cost and quality objectives, and realise their benefits."

creation of a knowledge base;
assurance definitions;
interfaces and developing lasting relationships;
project auditing;
measures for assuring projects;
integrated assurance – developing and sharing best practice.

Mission

• To provide a forum for exchanging ideas, sharing good practice, and developing new approaches to providing assurance.

• To develop standards and guidance on best practice assurance.

• To promote use of best practice approaches to assurance.

Assurance resources

The word “assurance” means different things to different people, depending on the field of interest.

In the world of projects and programmes it certainly has a range of meanings.

For some, it’s all about achieving quality, for others it’s about being sure that what they are told is correct, whilst for many it’s about being confident that ‘things are under control’.
