A health check is a quality tool that provides a snapshot of the status of a project, programme or the 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 P3O to inform specific actions or capability maturity development plans, whereas a Gated Review is part of formal governance arrangements.
