Delivery Scorecard

Work is continuing, but it is no longer converting into the same level of progress.

Work continues, but progress is no longer converting cleanly into results.

You may already be seeing signs of this:

– Work is moving, but results are not consistently holding
– Decisions are made, but need revisiting or further alignment
– Progress appears to continue, but requires more effort to sustain

This is where decisions begin to move ahead of what delivery can consistently support.

A short way to see whether the signals are isolated, or forming a consistent pattern.

Answer based on how delivery behaves today. Takes less than 2 minutes.

Target outcomes are clearly defined, prioritised and agreed
There is clear ownership for delivery outcomes
Success is defined in outcomes, not just activity
Everyone involved knows their role and what they are responsible for delivering
Resources, budget and time match what delivery requires
Risks and issues are tracked, owned and actively managed
Decisions are made clearly and at the pace the business needs
Communication is consistent, with no gaps or ambiguity
Vendors and partners are aligned to outcomes, not just tasks
Progress is visible in completed outcomes, not just reporting

Delivery rarely breaks all at once.

Work continues, but confidence depends on explanation. Decisions take longer to settle. More effort is required to maintain alignment.

This scorecard highlights whether the signals across delivery, decisions and control are isolated, or beginning to form a consistent pattern.

An isolated signal does not necessarily warrant further intervention. Where several signals are recurring, there may be enough showing to warrant looking more closely.

This scorecard does not explain why the pattern is forming, or what is sustaining it. That requires a more complete view of how the pattern is behaving.

Look more closely at the full pattern.
