Services
Programme Assurance
-
An independent review of a project programme, whether it's your contractor's or your own. From a quick, high-level check before a programme goes to a board or client, to a detailed review of a highly complex, multi-contractor programme. Fixed fee, agreed up front.
See the Schedule Review page for what's included.
-
Independent assessment of project plans and controls. We provide objective verification of programme, progress claims and project health, through desktop reviews or on-site verification visits, as a one-off or monthly.
Our assessments identify schedule risks, logic errors, resource conflicts and progress reporting issues before they become problems, with clear, actionable findings tracked through to closure.
Deliverables: programme verification reports, site visit findings, progress validation, risk assessments, findings registers, recommendations for improvement.
-
Setting up a PMO, or making the one you have work better. I review how planning, change control, risk and reporting actually run day to day, test them against good practice and your own governance, and say plainly what is working and what isn't. Then I help fix it: writing or rewriting procedures, building the templates and tools that support them, and helping your team adopt them.
Deliverables: controls maturity assessment, process maps and procedures, governance and reporting framework, templates and tools (Excel, Power BI, Power Apps), improvement roadmap.
-
Standard and custom reporting that turns project data into insight. We build Power BI dashboards, Excel reporting suites and integrated tracking systems, built from the source programme so the numbers reconcile.
Proven designs that can be deployed quickly or tailored to your needs, as a standalone build or as part of a wider planning engagement.
Deliverables: Power BI dashboards, Excel reporting (monthly, weekly and daily), earned value reports, KPI tracking, safety metrics dashboards.
