Project Health Management

Project Health Management

It is extremely important to keep monitoring the health of the project to be able to drive it successfully towards completion aligned to the expected outcomes as per the baseline plan. Much similar to the Plan Do Check Act cycle where checking is done to see if the project shape is as per the desired picture after the Plan and Do phases, it is important to check the health of the project even across phases. For example: it is important to see if the planning is being done as per the plan, which means the planning phase health.

We use a combination of various diagnostic tools and techniques to measure the health of the project across phases and suggest corrective and proactive measures. Some of the representative techniques are: heuristic, scientific, empirical and expert judgment etc. We design a set of health points/symptoms that need to be captured and analyze them from the current and future trends across triple constraint (Cost/Resources, Time/Schedule and Scope/Quality) to arrive at the probability of completion of the project within the triple constraint.
