Health Score™
One number.Ten dimensions.A structured view of your project.
The Health Score™ is a structured self-check across ten dimensions. It is not a traffic light or a RAG status. Its result is indicative only and does not replace an independent expert review.
Three result states
Your responses indicate that core controls are largely in place. Continue to monitor the dimensions as conditions change.
→ Monitor
Warning signals are present. Consider the weakest dimensions and the available review options before making further delivery assumptions.
→ Review priorities
Multiple warning signals are present. Establish the facts, senior ownership and available options before relying on the score alone.
→ Consider an independent review
Ten dimensions
What the Score measures.
Leadership
Is the project leadership capable, present, and trusted? Leadership failure is the single most common root cause of project failure — and the hardest to see from the outside.
Warning signals
Schedule
Is the project on track against its original plan? Not the revised plan. Not the re-baselined plan. The original plan — adjusted only for formally approved changes.
Warning signals
Budget
Is the project within its approved budget? Are cost variances understood, explained, and formally approved? Budget overruns are symptoms, not causes.
Warning signals
Communication
Is information flowing accurately and completely between the project team, the executive, and the board? Communication failure is how small problems become large ones.
Warning signals
Risks
Are the real risks known, documented, and actively managed? Or is the risk register a compliance document that no one reads?
Warning signals
Decisions
Are decisions being made at the right level, at the right time, with the right information? Decision paralysis and decision avoidance are among the most significant risk factors on any complex project.
Warning signals
Reporting
Is the reporting accurate, timely, and complete? Does the board see the same picture as the project team? Reporting quality can be a useful indicator of project health.
Warning signals
Stakeholders
Are the key stakeholders aligned, informed, and engaged? Stakeholder misalignment is a leading indicator of project failure — and one of the easiest to detect early.
Warning signals
Quality
Is the project delivering to the required quality standard? Quality shortcuts taken under schedule or budget pressure create compounding problems that are expensive to fix later.
Warning signals
Claims
Are there active or threatened claims, disputes, or legal proceedings related to the project? Claims are a lagging indicator — but their presence signals that earlier warning signs were missed.
Warning signals
How the Score is calculated
Not a survey. A structured assessment.
The Project Health Check provides an indicative self-check using a 0–100 health score across ten dimensions. Its three result states are Stable, At Risk and Intervention Required. The result is not an expert finding and should not be relied on as the sole basis for project decisions.
