Part Five: Manage a Portfolio, Not a Parade — Chapter 10: Governance That Can Be Used

The quarterly review

Use the same agenda each quarter:

  1. Compare actual results with promised ranges.
  2. Retire completed work.
  3. Review re-entry conditions for deferred opportunities.
  4. Reconsider sourcing and defensibility where the market changed.
  5. Review approved use, human signatures, and metric integrity.
  6. Ask: What should stop?

The final question is the proof that governance is real.
