Project health check

Project health check

We recommend you use these questions to review individual projects. Where the answer is so-so or less, identify what actions you can take to improve this and in turn improve the expected successful outcome of your project.

You can also fill it out for multiple projects and identify themes in areas of strength and weakness in your organisation. Please get in touch so we can discuss setting you up with this assessment and the associated dashboard.
