About this check: a self-assessment against 16 questions across six areas: people, scope & delivery planning, risk & reporting, go-live & hypercare, technology, and data. Five questions, marked Critical, carry extra weight because a serious problem in any one of them tends to affect the whole programme. It reflects the answers given at the time of completion, not an independent audit.

    This tool gives a high-level indicator based on self-assessment. It isn't a substitute for a full programme assurance review. If your result is raising uncomfortable questions, I can provide an independent view of the evidence behind the score and what needs attention first.

    What the Programme Health Checker covers

    A free self-assessment for sponsors, SROs and programme managers. Sixteen questions across six areas: people; scope, schedule and budget; risk, reporting and benefits; go-live and hypercare; technology; and data.

    Each answer is rated Green, Amber or Red. Five questions carry extra weight because a serious problem in any one of them tends to affect the whole programme: sponsor engagement, scope definition, reporting integrity, data quality and data migration.

    The result is a health score and one of four statuses. Green means healthy. Amber means stress in a number of areas. Red means distressed. Black means stopped: delivery to the current plan is no longer realistic, and the programme should stop and reassess before further spend. Black is a governance decision, not a delivery risk.

    It takes around eight minutes, runs entirely in your browser and stores nothing. The report can be saved as a PDF for a steering committee or board.
