Executive programme health assessment
Give a sponsor an evidence-based view of delivery confidence and the decisions required.
Illustrative example · Fictional scenario · Not a customer document
Illustrative enterprise-system implementation approaching UAT. The example distinguishes reported progress from the evidence required to support release confidence.
| Area | Assessment | Evidence / gap | Required action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Integrated plan | Amber | Partner milestones exist; business data preparation is not on the critical path. | Programme manager to reconcile the dependency plan before approving the baseline. |
| Business acceptance | Red | UAT scenarios do not cover two priority operating processes. | Business owner to approve complete scenarios before test entry. |
| Service readiness | Amber | Support ownership is identified; knowledge-transfer evidence is incomplete. | Service lead to agree acceptance evidence and handover dates. |
| Financial control | Green | Forecast and approved scope reconcile in this fictional example. | Continue monthly review and assess proposed changes. |
What the reader should act on
Sponsor decision: hold the release commitment until UAT coverage and the integrated baseline have been reviewed. Confirm the owners and dates for closing the evidence gaps.
How this is adapted for an engagement
Assessment areas, rating definitions and evidence thresholds are agreed against the programme’s risk and governance. A health check concludes with prioritised findings and options for intervention.
