Challenge
Regional teams used different delivery cadences, making dependencies hard to track and executive reporting inconsistent.
Approach
- Created a single operating cadence with milestone gates, RAID standards, and launch readiness criteria.
- Set up weekly portfolio reviews with decision logs and a shared view of blocker ownership.
- Introduced a one-page executive dashboard focused on schedule health, risk burn-down, and critical path changes.
Impact
- Improved on-time launch rate from 61% to 88% in two quarters.
- Reduced unresolved cross-team blockers by 46% before gate reviews.
- Cut executive status prep time by roughly 30% through standardized reporting.
