What is a Program Assessment?
A Program assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of a company’s programs. It is conducted to identify areas of improvement, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats and potential risks. The deliverables of a program assessment may vary depending on the scope of the assessment and the goals of the company. However, some common deliverables include:
- Discovery
- Current State Analysis
- Gap Analysis including issues & risk assessment
- Future State Recommendations
- Report & Briefing
It is important to note that a program assessment is not a one-time event. It should be conducted periodically to ensure that the company’s programs are healthy and aligned with its business goals.
