Power PMO Programme Health Check™

Independent assessment. Leadership confidence. Practical action.

Can you trust what your programme is telling you?

An independent programme assessment

Designed to give sponsors and senior leaders greater confidence in the true delivery position of a critical programme.

Clarity on where you are. Control over what happens next. Focus on results.

Typically completed within 1–2 weeks. From £6,000 + VAT.

Three fundamental questions answered

01

Where are we really?

02

What requires attention?

03

What should we do next?

Programme status does not always tell the whole story

A programme can have governance meetings, plans, dashboards and RAID logs and still lack effective delivery control.

  • Reported status may look healthy while dependencies are slipping, decisions remain unresolved or financial exposure is increasing.
  • The Health Check looks beyond programme status to assess whether the underlying conditions support successful delivery.

Designed for leaders accountable for delivery

The Programme Health Check is particularly valuable when:

Programme milestones are becoming uncertain or reported status and stakeholder experience do not align

Significant risks or dependencies are accumulating

Costs, forecasts or commercial exposure are becoming uncertain

A major milestone, UAT, cutover or go-live is approaching

Programme leadership has recently changed

An independent view is required before a significant decision or further investment

Designed for Programme Sponsors, Transformation Directors, Programme Directors, CIOs and executive leaders accountable for critical delivery.

A structured view of programme delivery

Using the Power PMO Programme Health Check™ methodology, we assess the conditions that matter most to successful programme delivery. Depending on the programme, the assessment considers areas such as:

Governance & Leadership

Accountability, sponsorship, escalation and decision-making

Planning & Dependencies

Credible integrated plan, milestones, critical path and dependencies

Risk, Issues & Delivery Control

Risk ownership, issue resolution, RAID integration and delivery actions

Financial & Commercial Confidence

Cost, forecast, commercial exposure and supplier performance

People & Capability

Capacity, capability and ownership

Business Readiness & Change

Organisational readiness to adopt and sustain the change

Executive Visibility

Reliable, relevant and forward-looking leadership information

Outcomes & Value

Alignment with intended business outcomes and benefits

Focused assurance without months of consultancy

The Programme Health Check is typically completed within a 1–2 week assessment window.

Understand

We establish the programme context, leadership concerns and critical decisions ahead.

Assess

We independently assess the programme using the Power PMO Programme Health Check™ methodology.

Advise

Leadership receives a clear assessment of delivery confidence, priority findings and practical recommendations.

The assessment timetable is agreed at the outset and depends on programme complexity and timely access to relevant stakeholders and programme information.

From assessment to action

Delivery Confidence Assessment

A clear independent view of the programme's current delivery position.

Executive Assurance Report

A concise report designed for senior leadership, focused on material findings.

Priority Findings & Actions

The issues leadership needs to understand, prioritised by urgency and delivery impact.

Executive Decisions Required

Clear identification of matters requiring leadership intervention.

30/60/90-Day Roadmap

A practical route from assessment to stronger delivery control.

Executive Readout

A focused discussion of findings, implications and next steps with programme leadership.

Clear scope from the outset

The standard Programme Health Check includes:

  • One programme; initial sponsor discovery session; up to five additional stakeholder interviews
  • Review of agreed core programme information and independent programme assessment
  • Delivery Confidence Assessment, Executive Assurance Report, prioritised findings and recommendations
  • 30/60/90-day roadmap and executive readout

£6,000 + VAT. Larger or more complex programmes, including major ERP and multi-workstream transformations, are scoped separately.

Independent assurance around the programme, not the software

ERP and major technology transformations introduce additional complexity across technology, vendors, processes and the business. Where relevant, the Health Check can consider areas such as:

System & Data Readiness

System integrator governance; data readiness; testing and UAT readiness

Business Process & Adoption

Business process readiness; training and adoption; cutover readiness

Go-Live & Transition

Go-live decision-making; transition and hypercare planning

Power PMO assesses whether the programme and the business are positioned to deliver and adopt the transformation successfully — not the technical configuration of the platform.

Independent programme assurance, not a technical audit

The Programme Health Check focuses on programme delivery and business readiness. It is not a:

Technical Architecture Review

Or cybersecurity assessment

Financial, Legal or Regulatory Audit

Outside the agreed scope of programme assurance

Detailed Solution Test

Or substitute for specialist technical assurance

Where specialist assurance appears necessary, Power PMO will identify the requirement rather than claim expertise outside the agreed scope.

What happens after the Health Check?

The Programme Health Check is a standalone engagement. Your team can take the findings, recommendations and roadmap forward independently.

Where the assessment identifies a need for additional support, Power PMO can also provide targeted assistance with implementing priority programme controls, stabilising areas of delivery under pressure, or providing ongoing senior PMO leadership and assurance.
