Sustainability Assessment

A Sustainability Assessment is a structured discussion of whether ownership, standards, training, monitoring and follow-up support a lasting improvement.

Read freely. Creating a worksheet requires a verified free beta account. No payment or manual beta approval.

When this tool helps

Use it before handoff, during periodic reviews of a changed process, or when ownership and support arrangements have changed.

It reveals weak support arrangements before a project team withdraws, so the receiving team can address gaps in ownership, training and review.

When to choose another method

Use a Process Audit to assess observed adherence to a defined standard. Sustainability scores are judgments, not measured compliance.

How to use it in CI Tools

  1. Read the guide and agree the question, definitions and required starting information.
  2. Open a separate blank worksheet or the built-in synthetic practice sample. Follow the tool-specific steps and review its warnings.
  3. Check the interpretation and save an editable .citools file to your computer. Keep reports as separate exports.
