Atern directly addresses many of the common risks for projects – missing fixed deadlines, having unclear or volatile requirements and many others. Using Atern ensures on-time delivery of a fit-for-purpose solution. Choosing the right approach is a key factor in reducing project risks in the early stages. Atern’s Project Approach Questionnaire provides a good starting point for creating a clear understanding of project risks and their mitigation. It also helps highlight where the Atern approach should be scaled (up or down) and where tailoring is appropriate, to gain the maximum benefit from using Atern.
