Products

Most projects undertake reviews and retrospectives at the end of a project, a post implementation review. The value of the lessons learnt is often lost by then as they are often not used for future projects.

Project Beacons maximises the value of lessons learnt by providing the capability to perform project reviews on a regular basis. This is done through multiple assessments by different project team members with each assessment tailored for their role in the project. Doing this provides a 360 degree objective view of the health of the project.

Project Beacons is based on our proprietary framework called PREDiCt, Predictive and Retrospective Evalution of Delivery Certainty. As the name suggests, the framework is designed to be used predictively throughout the project but can be used retrospectively as well.

Results of each review provides:

  • insights upon the areas for improvement through the lead indicators captured.
  • a capability to track project performance throughout its lifecycle
  • evidence-based reporting to the project board
  • an ability to adddress project issues early
  • An ability to complement RAG reporting with evidence
