Independent project audit and recovery advisory. For organisations that need an objective view of what is actually happening on a program of work — and what to do about it.
The people closest to your project — the delivery team, internal PMs, and third parties — each have a perspective shaped by their position in it. That is not a criticism; it is the nature of proximity. PM247's position is different. The engagement is scoped and priced before work begins, so there is no incentive to find more than the evidence supports. There is no delivery arm, so the recommendation is independent of any commercial follow-on. The findings are written, so they speak for themselves.
"The value of an independent assessment is not just objectivity. It is the absence of any incentive to reach a particular conclusion. The finding is whatever the evidence supports — nothing more, nothing less."
The engagement scope and fee are agreed in writing before work begins. The structure is clear from the start — what is in scope, what the output is, and what it costs.
PM247 runs no delivery arm. When the finding recommends recovery or restructure, there is no commercial interest in being the one to execute it. The recommendation is whatever the evidence supports — full stop.
All engagements conclude with a written report structured for the intended audience. The written record means findings are clear, portable, and actionable — available to share with a steering committee or board.
Assessments are conducted by senior practitioners with deep regulated-sector experience — from scoping through to written findings. The same practitioner throughout.
Every project audit is different. The scope is agreed with you at the outset based on what you're dealing with — whether that's assurance, distress, vendor performance, governance, or a combination. Every engagement begins with a no-cost discovery call.
The engagement structure is the same regardless of what PM247 looks at — what changes is the scope agreed with you at the outset.
No cost, no obligation. 30 minutes to understand your project, your situation, and what an engagement looks like. PM247 will tell you honestly if this isn't the right fit.
Senior Consultant conducts the assessment — document review, stakeholder interviews, data analysis. No junior staff. No subcontractors. The same practitioner throughout.
All findings delivered in a written report with supporting evidence. Structured for the intended audience — board, executive, or steering committee. No softening on delivery.
A verbal debrief with the senior leadership team. Questions answered. Follow-on work recommended only if genuinely warranted — PM247 has no delivery arm to feed.
When scope and cost are defined before work begins, the incentive is to deliver the finding — not to extend the engagement. PM247's approach removes ambiguity on both sides. The scope is agreed upfront. The fee doesn't change. The finding is whatever the evidence supports.
Scope agreed before work begins. No T&M billing. No scope creep on PM247's side.
The buyers of independent project assurance are not looking for a report to file. They need a clear view of reality — and confidence in what to do next.
A major program is underway and the status reports don't give you confidence. You need an independent view that gives you a clear picture of actual program health — and the assurance to know it is set up for success, or the diagnosis to act before it isn't.
A program is off the rails or showing early signs it could be. You need independent advice on where things actually stand — the current status, the real risk profile, and what it will take to get back on track. Not a view from inside the project.
A significant investment is underway. Governance requires an independent view — not assurance from the team managing the risk, not a vendor with something to sell. You need findings that can be presented to an audit committee and defended with evidence. An independent assurance report gives you something to rely on and something to stand behind.
Tell us what you're dealing with — reactive or proactive, in distress or just needing assurance. We'll tell you honestly which engagement fits and what it looks like in practice.
