ANVIL — Delivery Planning and Re-Baselining

Create or re-baseline a credible high-level delivery plan from reviewed initiative evidence.

Project managers, programme managers, delivery leads, PMO leads, transformation leads and governance teams.

PM², PRINCE2, Agile, Waterfall and Hybrid delivery planning.

Overview

Overview

ANVIL helps project and programme teams create or re-establish a credible high-level delivery plan as an initiative develops.

It brings the current delivery position into a clear planning structure, making major stages, sequencing, dependencies and areas of uncertainty easier to review and manage.

The resulting plan gives sponsors, PMOs and delivery leaders a stronger basis for mobilisation, governance review and controlled re-planning when circumstances change.

Once reviewed and appropriately governed, planning evidence and subsequent delivery variance can contribute to the organisation’s delivery intelligence and strengthen future estimates and decisions.

ANVIL supports professional judgement. It does not approve baselines, commit resources or make delivery decisions on the organisation’s behalf.

The buyer problem

The buyer problem

Delivery plans are often created from incomplete evidence, optimistic assumptions and disconnected schedules.

As circumstances change, teams may continue working against an outdated baseline or re-plan without preserving what changed and why.

Sponsors, PMOs and delivery leaders need a clearer basis for testing whether the plan is credible, understanding major dependencies and controlling re-baselining decisions.

What it does

What it does

ANVIL helps teams create or re-baseline a high-level delivery plan from the initiative’s current, reviewed evidence.

It structures major stages, milestones, dependencies and areas of uncertainty so that the proposed delivery approach can be challenged, governed and updated as circumstances change.

ANVIL supports planning and professional judgement. It does not approve baselines, allocate resources or commit the organisation to delivery decisions.

What it produces

What it produces

ANVIL produces a structured high-level delivery plan for sponsor, PMO and delivery-team review.

The plan presents major stages, milestones, dependencies, uncertainties and matters requiring further validation, giving authorised decision-makers a clearer basis for mobilisation, governance and controlled re-planning.

Once reviewed and appropriately governed, planning evidence and actual delivery variance can contribute to the organisation’s delivery intelligence and improve future estimates and decisions.

All outputs remain subject to human review, approval and ongoing change control.
