Scion’s Project Management
Project Management disciplines are fundamental to the delivery of excellent science. We ensure that effective plans are put in place, and issues related to project delivery are resolved. Science quality and fitness for purpose is assured through internal and external peer-review and adherence to Scion’s Codes of Scientific Conduct. All procedures and methods will be documented through Scion’s formal Lab Book register to protect any novel IP generated.
Using Scion’s Stage Gate Process, the concept is tested against criteria such as market fit, value proposition, technical and business risk as well as potential barriers such as freedom to operate, legislative issues, resource availability and the project plan strength. Each stage must see substantial reduction in technical risk and business risk.
