Appendix B: Questions for the Room

To govern the portfolio

These questions help the leadership team review its commitments as a whole. Use them with the outcome cards and decision records during the quarterly review. Take the relevant issues in turn and record an owner for any follow-up so the discussion changes what happens next.

  • Which items have no active owner?
  • Which items have no upcoming decision date?
  • Which results are activities rather than outcomes?
  • Which deferred item now meets its re-entry condition?
  • Which completed item should leave the active list?
  • What should stop?

Update the active portfolio, retain the learning from completed work, and choose the next priorities within the capacity people actually have.
