Screening Questions

  • Governance and decision rights clear?
  • Integrated master schedule credible?
  • Cost baseline and forecast controlled?
  • Risk register current and owned?
  • Change control functioning?
  • Progress measurement rules defined?
  • EVM/KPIs appropriate?
  • PMIS/data sources consistent?
  • Executive reporting decision-oriented?
  • Interfaces and dependencies actively managed?
  • Recovery actions tracked to closure?
  • Lessons and benefits transition planned?

Interpretation

  • 0–14: low readiness, close major definition gaps before procurement or scale.
  • 15–25: developing readiness, proceed with targeted studies and actions.
  • 26–36: good initial readiness, validate critical assumptions and move to the next decision gate.
