A reality check for project reporting
Is your project
a watermelon?
Green in the report. Red in reality. Take a free, 10-question check to spot the gap between your status report and what’s really happening.
About 2 minutes. Free. No email required.
“Everything is fine.” Until it isn’t.
Our promise: clarity, not blame.
01 / Find the gap
Is your project a watermelon?
Answer for the project you’re reporting on right now—not the process you wish you had. Yes adds 0 points, sometimes or unsure adds 5, and no adds 10. A higher score means more of the delivery reality is missing from your report.
A conversation starter, not a validated audit or a prediction of project failure. Responses stay in this page’s local state; nothing is submitted.
Be honest. The spreadsheet won’t be offended.
Question 1 of 10
Does this week’s reported status match the delivery evidence?
Yes = 0 points · Sometimes / unsure = 5 · No = 10. A higher score means a larger reporting gap. Answers stay in this page; refreshing clears them.
02 / Make the truth useful
Less status theatre.
More decisions that move delivery.
The planned Honest PMO Kit turns the gaps you find into a repeatable reporting habit. Familiar Google Sheets and Docs. A sharper set of questions.
Inside the executive status report
“What’s really going on” gets its own section.
Put delivery reality, the decision needed and the consequence of waiting in front of the people who can help.
What’s really going on
A critical dependency has no confirmed delivery date.
Decision needed
Assign an owner and agree a fallback before the next milestone.
Illustrative report excerpt
An honest RAID log
Make risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies visible—with owners and next actions, not just a list of worries.
Burn & P&L tracker
Put spending and delivery in the same conversation. See actuals against the plan before the budget becomes a surprise.
Project health dashboard
Bring the signals together so a green badge doesn’t drown out the evidence underneath.
Built for the next honest conversation
Less green washing.
More progress.
