The 7–14 Day Delivery Audit: What Sponsors Should Expect
A two-week sprint that exposes delivery risk, assigns owners, and leaves you with an executable plan.
A delivery audit must move faster than the burn rate. In 7–14 days you should get hard signals, not a slide parade.
The cadence
- Intake: Objectives, constraints, decision owners—no access, no audit.
- Discovery: Plans, RAID, financials, dependencies, architecture deltas.
- Interviews: Delivery, product, vendors, finance—triangulate truth.
- Synthesis: Findings mapped to budget, scope, and time impact with confidence bands.
- Action plan: Options with owners, dates, and escalation paths ready for approval.
What we hunt
- Critical path slips and orphaned dependencies.
- Budget burn vs. value, plus optimistic forecasts.
- Vendor opacity and architecture drift disguised as “resourcing.”
- Decision gaps that will stall funding or release dates.
What you leave with
An executive-ready report, a prioritized backlog of fixes, and a cadence to prove progress. If it can’t be executed, it wasn’t an audit.
