Readiness assessment

Is your program ready, or just on schedule?

A readiness assessment answers two questions: is the plan ready, and is the organization ready to take it on? Both answers have to be yes.

1

Governance

Decisions and risks have named owners, and sponsors clear roadblocks.

2

People

Key people are available, and leaders have the experience to run the effort.

3

Change

Training and change are planned alongside the technology, not after it.

When did you last check whether your program is truly ready, not just on schedule?

Warning signs

  • Status is green, but hallway talk is red
  • Ask about the business case, and the answer is “I don’t know” or “We don’t have one”
  • The team that built the plan is the only one checking it

One of these is manageable. More than one means it’s time to pause and assess.
