Program Management Recovery

We offer different levels of engagement based on your needs. Whether you have a project that is starting to slip, you'd rather scale up without adding direct employees, or you've come to the conclusion that Program Management just isn't your strength.

Rapid Assessment

Determine if the whole team is coalesced around a single credible plan
- Interview the team with questions based on experience to assess plan credibility
Inquire whether necessary tools are in place (issues list, timeline, budget, etc.)
Check for typical new model launch tools, logical sequence and/or short-cuts (risk). As an example taken from the auto industry, the connectivity and flow between Quality tools:
- Scope definition
- DFMEA
- Drawings
- DVP
- Process flow
- Control plan
- Operator instructions
Rapid assessment does not include evidence compilation or drilling deep
Output: Report summarizing findings, high-level assessment of readiness and recommendations based on high-level assessment
