PROGRAM DELIVERY REVIEW
Your projects report progress.
But how is the program really tracking?
Cherry consulting gives sponsors and delivery leaders an independent view of how connected projects are working together, what’s affecting delivery and where changes are needed.
Walk away with program findings, a cross-project dependency view and a prioritised improvement plan.
Overall delivery within 8 weeks.
Stage timings agreed when commissioned.
Cherry accepts a limited number of engagements at a time.
Dependencies keep catching teams out
Projects rely on each other, but handovers, shared resources and ownership aren’t clear.
Decisions keep coming back
The same issues appear in meetings without a clear decision or anyone accountable for closing them.
Teams work differently
Different methods, tools and reporting processes make it difficult to get a dependable view across the program.
Project reports don’t tell the whole story
Each project reports progress, but you can’t see whether the program is on course to deliver its outcomes.
Pay for what you need. Progress when ready.
Three independent stages. Each one is a decision point, and you can stop after any completed stage.

A diamond is work done in that stage. A tick is something delivered to you in that stage. An arrow means earlier findings are used in that stage; the work is not repeated or charged again. The number of connected projects, schedule exports and stakeholder sessions are set out in your agreed scope.
TWO WAYS TO START
Choose the commitment that works for you.
The scope and outputs are the same either way. The 10% saving applies only when the complete engagement is contracted and paid for upfront. Cherry plans the improvements; it doesn't implement them or take on ongoing delivery management.

Illustrative sample using the fictional Nexus Bank program, showing the full report after all three stages. Stage 1 gives a shorter findings summary and briefing. Each report is tailored to your program, available evidence and what your organisation needs to decide. Content and level of detail will vary.
From first look to a decision-ready roadmap.

What your Cherry consultant needs from you
Three things help the review run smoothly.
01
A sponsor and a contact
An accountable sponsor, a program contact to coordinate access, and availability from the agreed stakeholders for interviews.
02
Access to your documents
Access to all available relevant program and project documents, including meeting notes, plans, schedules, reports and governance records, plus the methodology, tools and processes your teams use.
03
Your input along the way
Your team will need to help clarify gaps, contribute to the sponsor readout and provide one consolidated response to the draft report.
