Verify Capability and Capacity
Establish what each team can demonstrate, whether resources match the work ahead and where training, leadership or additional support is needed.
INDEPENDENT PROJECT TEAM ASSESSMENTS
Know Your Project Team. Plan for Stronger Delivery.
Gain an independent assessment of the whole project team and each contributing team. Before bid, award or mobilization—and throughout delivery—we evaluate capability, capacity, readiness and performance against your project requirements. We identify gaps and turn measurable findings into practical actions for more reliable project execution.
THE ASSESSMENT
Evaluate the Team and Its Execution Plan.
Assess the capability, capacity and readiness of the project team as a whole and the individual teams within it. Use measurable evidence to identify gaps, strengthen coordination and guide decisions before bid, award or mobilization—and evaluate performance throughout delivery.
As part of the assessment, we evaluate your existing execution plan against project requirements, team capability, available capacity and delivery objectives. We identify gaps and recommend practical improvements. Your team retains responsibility for preparing, revising, approving and implementing the plan.
Assess the Execution Plan
Evaluate roles, responsibilities, workflows, technology and handoffs against project requirements. Identify gaps, inconsistencies and practical improvements for your team to incorporate.
Measure Performance and Improvement
Compare performance with criteria and baselines confirmed with you, investigate causes of delays or rework and evaluate whether improvements strengthen delivery.
WHO WE ASSESS
The Whole Project. Each Contributing Team.
Whole Project Team
Collective readiness, responsibilities, coordination, interfaces and ability to execute the delivery plan.
Participating Teams
Each organization, discipline or trade team’s skills, resources, workload, processes and performance against its responsibilities.
Individual Team Members, Where Relevant
Role-specific capability and development needs within the assessment scope confirmed with you.
Standalone company or department assessments remain available. We define the assessment scope with you around the decision you need to make.
WHEN WE HELP
Support Better Decisions at Every Project Stage.
We assess the team and its execution plan using evidence appropriate to the project stage and the decision you need to make.
Before Bidding
Review the proposed team, available capacity and execution plan against the bid requirements. Identify capability gaps, resource needs and assumptions that could affect your decision to pursue the work.
Before Contract Award
Evaluate the proposed project team and execution plan against confirmed project requirements. Give decision-makers an independent view of strengths, gaps and readiness to support selection and award decisions.
Before Project Start
Check whether people, responsibilities, information, workflows and resources are ready for mobilization. Identify unresolved readiness gaps and recommend improvements for the client to incorporate into its execution plan.
During Project Delivery
Compare actual performance with the execution plan and measures confirmed with you. Investigate delays, rework and coordination problems, then recommend corrective actions and evaluate whether improvements are working.
WHAT WE ASSESS
Four Questions. A Clearer View of Project Delivery.
We evaluate capability, capacity, readiness and performance against your project requirements and execution plan. Assessment criteria and evidence reflect the project stage, each team’s responsibilities and the decisions you need to make.
Capability — Can the Team Do the Work?
Evaluate relevant experience, demonstrated skills and representative work—not training attendance alone. Identify strengths, capability gaps and development needs within each team and across the project.
Capacity — Can the Team Resource the Work When Needed?
Assess staffing, availability, workload and leadership coverage against the work ahead. Identify resource constraints and competing commitments that could affect delivery.
Readiness — Is the Team Prepared to Execute?
Evaluate the client’s execution plan, responsibilities, information, workflows, technology and handoffs. Identify unresolved dependencies and readiness gaps, including missing or incomplete planning, and recommend improvements for the client to address.
Performance — Is the Team Delivering the Required Results?
Evaluate quality, timeliness, productivity and rework against confirmed requirements and available baselines. Investigate what is affecting results and establish practical measures for evaluating improvement.
SHARED EXPECTATIONS
Clear Scope. Practical Recommendations.
Each assessment is tailored to your project stage and the decisions you need to make. Its scope, evaluation criteria and deliverables are clearly defined before work begins.
What You Receive
Depending on the scope, your assessment includes:
- An evidence-supported view of team capability, capacity, readiness and performance.
- Evaluation of your existing execution plan, with recommendations to strengthen coordination and delivery.
- Strengths to build on, gaps to address and prioritized improvement opportunities.
- Recommended actions, proposed responsibilities and practical measures for tracking progress.
Your Participation
Your designated point of contact helps us coordinate discussions with relevant team members and gather the information needed for the assessment. This includes project requirements, your existing execution plan, representative work samples and available performance records. We identify missing or incomplete information and explain how it affects our findings and recommendations.
Responsibilities and Independence
Your organization retains responsibility for preparing, revising, approving and implementing its execution plan, along with staffing, procurement and project decisions. Sherwood evaluates the available evidence and provides recommendations to support those decisions.
We share assessment findings only with authorized recipients and disclose any relationships that could affect our independence. Assessment conclusions remain separate from proposals for additional Sherwood services. If we review work we helped implement, we clearly disclose our involvement and do not present the review as independent.
CONNECTED DELIVERY
Turn Assessment Findings into Better Delivery.
Successful delivery depends on how well people, information and workflows connect. Within the assessment scope, we examine the handoffs linking design, coordination, fabrication, field installation and facility operations.
We recommend practical ways to clarify responsibilities, strengthen communication and improve information flow. We also identify opportunities to incorporate useful technology and establish measures for tracking progress and verifying improvement.
