Decision Log
Every decision on every project, with the reasoning recorded at the time. The figures at the top count the decisions recorded, those Awaiting a decision, how many carry their Rationale recorded, and how many were Approved by a finance body.
Filter by Status (All, Agreed, Approved or Pending) and by Project, typing part of its name. Pending decisions are listed under Awaiting a decision, the rest under Decisions taken. A decision taken with less than 60 characters of reasoning is marked Rationale missing.
On the Table
The questions not yet answered. Choose Show: Open (the default), Decided or All. Each one shows when it is needed by and who owns it, and Overdue: needed by its date once that date has passed.
The button that counts the options, such as Show the 3 options, shows each option's Gain, Give up and Cost, with its verdict. Recommendation on the table is what is being brought to the board. A question with No options recorded is flagged.
Risks & Issues
Every risk is scored likelihood × impact, from 1 to 9:
| Likelihood, by impact | Low | Medium | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| High | 3 | 6 | 9 |
| Medium | 2 | 4 | 6 |
| Low | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Filter by Severity, Trend, Project or Owner, and select a column heading to sort. A risk is flagged when it has No owner, a Thin mitigation (under 40 characters) or No next action.
The Exposure matrix plots the risks shown: high exposure is a score of 6 to 9, monitor is 3 to 4, low is 1 to 2. Issues: already happened lists things that have gone wrong and are being worked.
