CATS RVM^®

CATS RVM^® offers a methodical approach to managing contracts in project and service management. It describes the basic principles, the roles, the points of attention for the realization and verification manager in the domains of delivery management and contract management, and the recommended way of working.

The CATS RVM^® methodology is aligned with the best practice contract management methodology CATS CM^® as described in the book CATS CM^® version 4: From working on contracts to contracts that work. However, it can be read completely independently. Where relevant, parts of CATS CM^® are also described in this book.

The methodology is suitable for anyone involved with purchase and/or sales contracts in the provision of services, products or projects. This includes project managers, service managers, facility managers, those responsible for a technical service, and those responsible for the provision of HR services. It is also useful for those who work in adjacent domains such as contract management, procurement, sales, risk management, or compliance, and anyone who is responsible for contracts in a more tactical or strategic role.
