When projects slip, the fastest win is a short, disciplined delivery assurance audit. In 30 days, we stabilise scope and governance, close decision gaps, and get delivery back to a predictable cadence.
This guide shows what’s covered, how the process works week by week, and what you’ll walk away with
What a Delivery Assurance Audit Covers
Scope, governance and decision rights
We clarify outcomes, roles, and decision thresholds. Ambiguity here creates silent delays; clear ownership speeds every downstream activity.
Schedule, dependencies and resourcing
We rebalance plans against realistic capacity, tackle cross-team dependencies, and create slack for critical paths so risks don’t cascade.
Quality gates, risk and controls
We define evidence-based quality gates, a working risk register, and reporting that drives decisions rather than status updates.
The 30-Day Plan (Week by Week)
Day 1–7: Stabilise and surface risks
Run discovery: scope, risks, dependencies, team health
Reset governance: who decides what, when, and at which threshold
Introduce a simple one-page reporting pack tied to outcomes
Day 8–21: Corrective actions and ownership
Fix the schedule: re-sequence, right-size scope, set decision SLAs
Remove blockers: environment, access, and resourcing gaps
Implement quality gates: definition of ready/done, test evidence
Day 22–30: Lock in controls and reporting
Embed cadence: daily flow checks, weekly outcome reviews
Handover: owners, risk watch-list, next-step plan
Executive summary: what changed, why it works, and what to watch
