Controlled Delivery

This section deals with breaking the project down into stages; reviewing reporting and deciding whether to continue or not. These are all activities that happen at the end of a stage, prior to commencing the next. The rest of the organisation also needs to be aware of the projects progress, especially where other parts of the business will take delivery of the projects outputs or products.

Points to consider

At the end of each stage you need to assess whether the project is still on course and still aligns with the business case, the risks are under control, the business case itself is still viable and this information informs the decision as to whether the next stage should be undertaken or the project should be terminated.

What you need to do

Each stage ends with a decision point on whether to continue with the project or not; this is a stage boundary, a control point in the project when progress and deliverables are reviewed by senior management before approval to proceed to the next stage. Where applicable, these decision points are preceded by OGC GatewayTM Reviews
