Project Health Check: where does your IT project stand?
An independent written opinion on one IT or ERP project, with immediate actions. The smaller first step, before you commission a full review.
At a glance
What is the Project Health Check?
The Project Health Check is an independent review of one IT or ERP project that is stalling, for the sponsor, director or board member accountable for it. In 5 working days you get a short written opinion with immediate actions. The fixed price is €4,950, excluding VAT.
Sound familiar?
- Go-live has moved twice, and nobody will commit to a new date.
- The supplier reports green. Finance still closes the month in spreadsheets.
- Your board asks whether to carry on or stop, and nobody can answer with facts.
- There are plenty of meetings, but decisions stay on the table.
What you get
A short written opinion
On the main risks, the gaps in the evidence and the open questions.
Immediate actions with an owner
What you can do now, with an owner for each action.
A conversation with the sponsor
On whether a full review is needed.
How it works
What we do
We interview up to 6 people and read the key project documents.
Where
Mostly remote, on site where needed.
When it starts
The 5 working days start once we have access to documents, the system and people. Without access the work cannot start.

The project is running, and you want ongoing oversight
Programme Assurance follows a running programme: a monthly review, a seat on the steering group and a report for the board.

Choose by what is going on. These are not steps in a fixed order: each service stands on its own.

What does the Project Health Check cost?
€4,950 fixed price, excluding VAT. Scope, timeline and price are fixed before we start.
How soon can it start?
The 5 working days start once we have access to documents, the system and people. Without access the work cannot start. You begin with a 30-minute call, after which you get a proposal with scope, timing and a fixed price.
Is the Health Check only for ERP projects?
No. We look at the programme, the plan, the supplier and the budget. That works for any stalled IT project. Think of it as a short, independent second opinion on where your project stands: written, with immediate actions.
What do we need from you?
Access to documents, the system and people. We read the key project documents and interview up to 6 people. The work is mostly remote, and on site where needed.
What if a full review is needed?
We discuss that in the conversation with the sponsor at the end of the Health Check. If you continue with a Programme Recovery Review within 30 days, the €4,950 is credited against the review fee. The plan is yours: carry it out with us, with your supplier or with someone else. If we could do follow-on work ourselves, we say so in writing.
