This placeholder article can be expanded into a practical health check guide for leaders, sponsors and delivery teams.
Keep the assessment focused
Start with the objective, scope, plan, governance, resourcing, risks, stakeholder alignment and adoption readiness. Avoid turning the review into an audit of everything.
Look for decision quality
Many delivery issues become visible in the way decisions are made. Check whether decisions are timely, owned and informed by reliable delivery information.
Practical takeaway
A project health check should end with a short set of priority actions, clear owners and a cadence for checking whether confidence is improving.
