Project Health Check™
A 10-business-day rigorous diagnostic procedure for enterprise projects in distress, undergoing transition, or entering high-stakes executive review.
RIGOROUS BOUNDARIES
Governed Assessment Parameters
Assessment Principles & Triangulation
Past / Present / Forward
Evaluates historical drift trends, current operational status, and forward-looking trajectory projections to determine baseline risk.
Critical Override
Ensures single fatal flaws (e.g., regulatory breach, critical architecture flaw) automatically trigger executive escalation regardless of overall domain score.
Evidence Confidence & Triangulation
Cross-validates interview statements against repository evidence (~20 items) and telemetry to eliminate subjective optimism bias.
Visibility Gap
Quantifies the delta between reported project progress and verifiable operational reality to isolate hidden friction.

Executive Decision Queue™
Project Health Check™ findings are structured into prioritized decision items and follow-up actions presented for executive review, ensuring evaluation outcomes establish concrete foundations for executive decisions.
| DECISION ID | FINDING CATEGORY | IMPACT LEVEL | REQUIRED EXECUTIVE ACTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| EDQ-01 | Scope & Requirements Drift | CRITICAL | Authorize baseline freeze or invoke change committee scope reduction. |
| EDQ-02 | Technical Architecture Bottleneck | HIGH | Reallocate specialized architecture capacity for 30-day intervention. |
| EDQ-03 | Governance & Reporting Gap | MEDIUM | Implement Astrum PMO Core™ automated reporting telemetry. |
Executive Inquiries: Project Health Check™
Direct answers regarding our 10-day diagnostic protocol, governed control points, and actionable executive outcomes.
In what situations is the 10-Day Project Health Check™ typically commissioned?
The 10-Day Project Health Check™ is commissioned when enterprise programs experience milestone divergence, unverified vendor progress, governance gridlock, or unexpected cost variance, as well as during pre-gate executive reviews or leadership transitions.
What is the stakeholder time commitment during the 10-day diagnostic period?
The protocol is structured to minimize demands on operational teams. Key stakeholder interviews are capped at a maximum of six focused sessions (typically 45–60 minutes each). The diagnostic relies primarily on independent analysis of approximately 20 core evidence items across 10 evaluation domains.
What formal artifacts are delivered at the conclusion of the diagnostic?
On Day 10, executive leadership receives seven governed deliverables: 1) Executive Diagnostic Briefing, 2) 10-Domain Health & Control Point Matrix, 3) Evidence Confidence & Triangulation Register, 4) Critical Override & Fatal Flaw Log, 5) Visibility Gap & Operational Delta Analysis, 6) Executive Decision Queue™ Roadmap, and 7) Executive Review Action Plan.
All responses are grounded in verified Astrum PMO Core™ governance frameworks and methodology.
