Engagement
JYAMC delivered a robust project portfolio baseline, detailing schedule, budget, scope, and intended benefits.
In parallel, a comprehensive maturity assessment was undertaken to evaluate Project Portfolio Management capability, identifying key uplift opportunities in governance, delivery consistency, and performance tracking.
This approach provided executives with credible, data-driven transparency, establishing a clear foundation for the entire portfolio — including initiative health, milestones, budget details, and key dependencies.
The engagement gave senior leadership immediate insight into portfolio health and delivery risks, enabling informed planning and prioritisation decisions. The work also produced a tailored roadmap to uplift project delivery maturity, improving capability and accountability across the department.
As a result, the department strengthened its ability to execute complex initiatives that drive better social and policy outcomes for Australians.
