What a useful program health check actually tells you
Practical perspectives for Australian public sector leaders.
Status colours are not enough
A program can report green while carrying unresolved dependencies, untested assumptions or decisions that have been deferred for months. Useful assurance tests whether the evidence supports the reported position.
Follow the critical path
Review delivery plans, resourcing, data readiness, integrations, testing, change impacts, commercial commitments and governance decisions together. Risks often emerge where these workstreams meet.
Turn findings into decisions
A good health check does not stop at identifying problems. It prioritises what matters, explains the consequences of inaction and names the decisions, owners and timeframes needed to move forward.
Keep it independent and practical
The goal is not to produce a lengthy report. It is to give sponsors a credible picture of delivery confidence and a practical set of actions that improves the chance of success.
