Portfolio decision packet
This note gives a one-review packet that ends in a decision with an owner, action, budget, due date and reversing evidence. A packet without a decision is reference material, not portfolio management, so the next commercial action is named in the packet itself. Put rights, customer value, evidence, cost, observability, and the next commercial action in one review.
Contents
State the family, status, ownership, remaining term, cost, unusual insight, customer problem, product fit, design-arounds, compression, resilience, observable use, demand evidence, dependencies, and risks.
Options
Compare prosecute, narrow, continue, maintain, experiment, develop, attach, license, sell, open, publish, or abandon.
Decision
Name the owner, action, budget, due date, and evidence that would reverse it.
