WHITE PAPER RELEASED: Project Health Checks

Motivating Accountability for Project Performance with Health Checks

Talented project executives rely on Health Checks to meet their accountabilities for establishing governance structures, delegating authority, managing by exception, clarifying change strategies, communicating with stakeholders, motivating project teams, and – ultimately – delivering strategic benefits to the business (Chiesa, et al. 2007).  Although widely used in practice, Health Check conclusions are often hypothetical and do not reflect actual project health (Bryde and Wright 2007).  

The PM-Partners group has been conducting health checks and assurance services for over 14 years. We have refined our Health Check service spanning the complete economic cycle over the past 12 months, where economic contraction, mild recession and subsequent growth have brought about a renewed interest in obtaining higher value for project outcomes.  We conducted 77 hours of face-to-face interviews with executives, managers and stakeholders of large transformation projects in the public and private sectors in Australia.  Hence, this White Paper will summarise our research evidence pointing to a concise set of criteria for assessing success in projects.
