How it works

From fifteen questions to a clear place to start

Delivery DNA turns structured assessment evidence into findings you can discuss and direction you can act on. Here is exactly what happens, and what each stage can and cannot tell you.

The journey

Four stages, no workshops required

The model behind all of it is fixed: 5 domains, 15 capabilities, 45 questions.

  1. 016–8 minutes

    Answer the Snapshot

    Fifteen questions, one for each capability, written in plain delivery language. No preparation, no document gathering, no scoring workshop.

    Unlock the Overview when it is worth it

    The remaining thirty questions complete all fifteen capabilities. That depth is what allows capability-level findings, confidence and patterns rather than a headline.

    Act on bounded direction

    Practical recommendations and bounded next-step direction for the coming quarter. Bounded on purpose: a short list your organisation can actually carry.

From evidence to action

Why convergence matters more than volume

Most organisations already hold plenty of delivery information. What is usually missing is the step that resolves it into a small number of things worth doing first. That step is the whole point of Delivery DNA.

What you receive

An Overview you can put in front of a board

Findings, the patterns behind them, the confidence attached to each, and bounded 30/60/90-day direction. Illustrative example below.

Findings and patterns

  • Insight & Adaptation

    Higher confidence

    Reporting is produced on time, but the same three delivery issues recur across unrelated projects without being named as a pattern.

    Recommendation. Add a short cause section to the existing portfolio report rather than creating a new report.

  • Leadership & Governance

    Moderate confidence

    Decisions are taken at the right level, yet teams frequently rediscover them weeks later through informal channels.

    Recommendation. Record decisions and their rationale in one place teams already open each week.

Bounded direction

  1. 30 daysAgree one owner for delivery reporting content and cadence.
  2. 60 daysName the recurring patterns explicitly in the portfolio review.
  3. 90 daysRe-test the two weakest capabilities and compare the change.

Illustrative. Bounded 30/60/90-day direction, not a full improvement plan or transformation roadmap.

Principles

Evidence-informed. Explainable. Human-controlled.

Three commitments that shape how the product behaves and what it is willing to claim.

Evidence-informed

Every question maps to one capability in the approved model, so a result can be traced back to what was asked rather than to interpretation.

Explainable

Findings state what the answers suggest and how confidently. Nothing is presented as certainty the evidence cannot support.

Human-controlled

DeliveryIQ prepares and explains. Your people review the findings, decide what to act on and remain accountable for delivery.
