Recommendation 26

The IPA told us that it is looking to introduce metrics to help it understand whether it is making a material difference to projects passing through stage gates, and what impact it is having on programmes that are underway.51 The IPA also told us it has in place a “get to green” programme to be clear about the fundamental elements needed for teams to give programmes a green rating at the next stage gate.52 The IPA said it wished to make sure that it is impactful on new programmes joining the GMPP, whilst recognising that improvement will be a slower process for those already on it. We noted, however, that when we last spoke to the IPA in 2016, it told us that a system was in development then to measure the impact it was having on programme performance.53 Restoration and Renewal of the Palace of Westminster
