Health check

A health check is a quality tool that provides a snapshot of the status of a project, programme or portfolio. The purpose of a health check is to gain an objective assessment of how well the project, programme or portfolio is performing relative to its objectives and any relevant processes or standards.

A health check differs from a gated review in that it is a tool used for assurance purposes by the portfolio office to inform specific actions or capability maturity development plans, whereas a gated review is part of formal governance arrangements.
