Outage Pyramid

Identify Gaps And Build Alignment For Outage Readiness

The Outage Readiness Pyramid is a self-assessment tool that enables project teams to measure the readiness of their project relative to industry best practices. Using the familiar concept of green, yellow, and red traffic lights, the Outage Readiness Pyramid provides a clear, comprehensive overview of your outage readiness and effectively measures team alignment across all key functional areas. It is designed to guide your team through proven best practices for planning and developing projects and help you anticipate challenges before they become expensive delays.

One of the key outputs of the Outage Readiness Pyramid is the Outage Readiness Index (ORI) Score. This score serves as a quantifiable measure of readiness, and it is generated by measuring the planning status across 21 component areas of outage preparation. The degree of alignment of the team members and the planning status are both components of the ORI Score. AP-Networks has quantifiably found that as the ORI Score increases, cost and schedule overrun decrease, and project outcomes become more competitive and more predictable.

In addition to measuring overall status and alignment, the Outage Readiness Pyramid proactively provides links to specific job aids to improve the readiness of specific areas. The Pyramid can generate numerous reports, complete with multiple layers of drill-down and cross-referencing. These reports help to pinpoint deficiencies in the preparedness of the outage or the alignment of the team, offering a clear indication of where to focus resources to improve readiness.

Backed By Data, Trusted By Industry

The Outage Readiness Pyramid is a reliable indicator of outage readiness, as proven through hundreds of outages. It is a tried and tested tool rooted in statistical regression models that use empirical data from AP-Networks’ engagements across industries. As AP-Networks Databases expand with each new event, our database tool becomes ever more robust.
