Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and apparatuses for aligning project deliverables with project risks are presented. According to one or more aspects, an architectural assessment of a new project may be received at an initial estimation phase of the new project. Subsequently, a rigor worksheet for the new project may be received at the initial estimation phase of the new project. A rigor score for the new project then may be calculated based on the architectural assessment and the rigor worksheet. Thereafter, one or more project deliverables to be imposed on the project may be selected based on the calculated rigor score.

Abstract: Methods, computer readable media, and apparatuses for managing initiative consolidation are presented. According to one or more aspects, information about at least two new projects may be received. Subsequently, the information may be analyzed to identify one or more commonalities between the at least two new projects. Thereafter, it may be determined, based on the identified commonalities, to bundle the at least two new projects for one or more testing phases. In one or more arrangements, receiving information about the at least two new projects may include extracting, from one or more project design documents, a job listing for each project, where each job listing identifies one or more jobs included in each project. In some arrangements, a cost-benefit analysis may be generated to calculate potential savings associated with bundling the at least two new projects for the one or more testing phases.
