How many FTE work on the outcomes?

What is the cost of the FTE per hour?

Factor 2: Alignment Drag

On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you that all stakeholders left the last major session with the exact same understanding of the key decisions?

On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you that all stakeholders left the last major session with the exact same understanding of the key decisions?

How many hours of follow-up does your group need on average to (re-)align on decisions?

How many stakeholders are involved?

Rework & Error Risk

What was the estimated budget percentage of your last project allocated to rework caused by miscommunication or scope creep?

What is the total budget of your next big project?

A good rule of thumb is that projects overrun by on average 20%, including any budgets allocated for overruns.
