- Does not give a date without stating what it assumes
- Does not plan around resources it was never told exist
- Presents estimates as ranges, not as commitments
PMO
Programme Management Office
Sequences the work, exposes the critical path, and gives the plan the checkpoints it needs to stay honest.
Mandate
Turns a decision into a plan with dates, owners and dependencies — and says which date is the one that will actually slip.
Focus areas
- Programme structure and workstreams
- Milestones and the critical path
- Dependency and constraint management
- Resource loading and sequencing
- Delivery risk and contingency
- Benefits tracking after delivery
What it produces
- A phased plan with milestones and owners
- The critical path and what sits on it
- A dependency map across workstreams
- Checkpoints where the plan gets re-tested
Ask it about
- How long does this realistically take, and what drives that?
- What has to finish before anything else can start?
- Where is this plan most likely to slip?
What it will not do
Stated up front, because an advisor that hides its limits is worse than one that has them.
