What it shows

  • Executive Control Tower across a portfolio of initiatives and releases.
  • A 10-gate lifecycle, from Intake to Post-Release, with calculated gate health.
  • Release risk map: readiness against days to release, with a decision window.
  • Readiness matrix, release pipeline, dependencies and risk, and a 90-day plan.

Outcomes

  • Management attention goes to the few initiatives that need a decision.
  • Systemic bottlenecks, such as one gate holding many releases, become visible.
  • A starter pack that runs from CSV files, with no SaaS account needed to pilot.

Built for: CIOs, PMOs and architecture or release boards governing a portfolio of technology change.

Product specification

Eight report pages: Executive Control Tower, Readiness Matrix, Release Pipeline, Gate Health, 90-Day Release Plan, Dependencies & Risk, Release Detail, and a Model & Configuration appendix.

Gate health is calculated from mandatory criteria, evidence and open blockers rather than entered by hand. Release risk plots readiness against days to release. Framework tags come as a regulatory pack: an Australian pack (CPS 234, CPS 230) or a US pack (SOC 2, NIST SP 800-34, CIS Controls v8, CCPA/CPRA).

How it's delivered: days, not months

  1. ScopeA short call to agree the decision it needs to support and which data you already have.
  2. LoadYour exports go into the model's CSV templates. No live connection to your systems is needed to start.
  3. RunThe model runs on your data, and every number traces back to its inputs and the documented method.
  4. Hand overYou keep the Power BI file, its design walkthrough and engineering companion, or our practitioners run it with you each month.
