Benefits of Using Performance Assurance

The problem for project managers is that the most critical project decisions must be made early on in the project lifecycle and are often the most expensive and difficult to change. However, these decisions are made with very little information. Performance issues fall into this category and the phrase "who knows what the performance is going to be?" is a frequent thought. Performance assurance, with simple system models and defined performance budgets, can ensure more informed decisions are made during the critical early part of the project lifecycle.

Performance assurnace keeps an eye on the design of the system helping to make design decisions that will ensure that the end-user performance requirements are met without any over-engineering.
