Project Score
One number.Ten dimensions.A structured view of your project.
The Project 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.
Four 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
Serious and widespread warning signals are present. Do not rely on the score alone: establish the facts, secure senior ownership and take an independent view without delay.
→ Act immediately
Ten dimensions
What the Score measures.
Schedule & Delivery
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 & Cost Control
Is the project within its approved budget? Are cost variances understood, explained, and formally approved? Budget overruns are symptoms, not causes.
Warning signals
Leadership & Accountability
Is the project leadership capable, present, and trusted? Leadership failure is a common root cause of project failure — and the hardest to see from the outside.
Warning signals
Communication & Reporting
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
Risk & Issue Management
Are the real risks known, documented, and actively managed? Or is the risk register a compliance document that no one reads?
Warning signals
Governance & Decision-Making
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
Team & Capability
Does the project have the right people, in the right roles, with the right skills? Team gaps and capability mismatches are a leading cause of delivery failure.
Warning signals
Stakeholder & Supplier Alignment
Are the key stakeholders and suppliers aligned, informed, and engaged? Misalignment is a leading indicator of project failure — and one of the easiest to detect early.
Warning signals
Data Integrity & Transparency
Is the project data accurate, complete, and trusted? Data quality problems undermine every other dimension — and are often the first sign that something is being hidden.
Warning signals
Recovery Readiness
If the project is in trouble, is the organization ready to act? Recovery readiness measures whether the conditions for a structured recovery are in place — or whether the project is still in denial.
Warning signals
How the Score is calculated
Not a survey. A structured assessment.
The Project Reality Check provides an indicative self-check using a 0–100 Project Score across ten dimensions. Its four result states are Stable (76–100), At Risk (50–75), Intervention Required (30–49), and Critical (0–29). The result is not an expert finding and should not be relied on as the sole basis for project decisions.
