I have just been asked by an exec from another function to audit a critical project in their portfolio which does not appear to be going well. I have some ideas based on my own PMO experience, but wanted to explore how peers might think about approaching such an exercise. Considerations: - outside my main role - risk of conflict with the leader providing project management services to this exec - sensitivity within the other function to potential criticism of their governance - readiness of the project team to provide relevant information

We average two lost devices per week, which seems low, but executive management is concerned and wants to know if our numbers are typical compared to other companies. My questions are: 1. Do other companies also struggle with lost or stolen devices? 2. What is the average number of lost devices per week? 3. Are there repercussions for associates who lose devices due to carelessness or negligence?
