The Portfolio Lifecycle: Stage 4 – Review

All portfolio projects have been completed and closed out. 

This brings the entire portfolio to a close, and now is the time to review and close out.

 

 

This stage has three steps, listed as tabs across the top:

 

 

Step 1 – Risk Review

The purpose of this step is so that the Portfolio Manager can compare the initial assumed risk with what actually happened. 

At the bottom of this tab, you’ll find the initial risk rating assigned to the portfolio. You can change these ratings to reflect new realities. If changes are made, be sure to click Save Risk Rating

 

 

Back at the top of this tab, you can expand the Approval Status List to see who approved the original risk profile. To complete this step, enter a note and click Request Approval.

 

 

 

The approval task then goes to the Portfolio Risk Approver. The risk profile acceptance now appears in the Approval Status List, and the approver can approve, reject, and submit.

 

Step 2 – Closeout

To close out the portfolio, just enter a summary and click Submit Closeout Stage.

 

Step 3 – Archive

When the portfolio is complete, and is no longer needed for reference, you can archive it. Simply enter a note and submit.
