Authorize a Stage or Exception plan

The Authorize a Stage or Exception plan activity is another important control point for the Project Board. They will review the data provided by the Project Manager and decide if the project should continue to the next stage.

The Project Board will therefore do the following:

• Compare results of current stage against stage plan

• Check performance of project to date (they can use the baselined project plan for this).

• Evaluate the next stage plan

• Check the risk summary

• Review the Business Case (they will check if the Business Case is still valid).

• Check that lessons are being learned and that they are used in future stages.

• And lastly, they can choose to give approval for the next Stage Plan. This is the Authorization for the next stage to begin or approve the Exception Plan.
