PRINCE2 2009 - Directing Projects with PRINCE2 part 40

Authorize the project

Suggested Project Board agenda

A generic agenda for Project Board reviews was introduced in the section covering ‘Project Board duties and behaviours’ (see ‘Progress control’ under ‘Ensure effective decision making’).

The specific implementation suggested for authorizing a project is outlined in the agenda below.
This agenda may be modified to include authorizing the next Stage Plan (see the section covering ‘Authorize a Stage or Exception Plan’) if this is done as part of a combined review.

Suggested Project Board agenda for authorizing the project

Look back:Review the End Stage Report from the initiation stage
Look forward:Review the Project Initiation Documentation
Assess overall project viability:Review the Business Case and key issues/risks
Make a decision:Authorize the project (by approving the Project Initiation Documentation), or Request amendments to the Project Initiation Documentation, or Reject the project.
