Execution Stability Index, Portfolio Comparison

Compare ESI scores across workstreams and programs to surface which portfolio areas are trending toward systemic risk and require priority intervention. Part of the Program Intelligence discipline.

Execution Stability Index (ESI) is a program intelligence signal measuring the stability and regularity of engineering execution patterns across time. ESI is derived from five execution dimensions:

• Schedule Stability• Cost Stability• Risk Acceleration Gradient• Delivery Predictability• Flow Compression
