You should regularly review your deployment to ensure it is delivering to the outcomes set at the outset of the process. Key things to focus on include:
Information Quality & Gaps
Are you satisfied with the detail and quality of the corporate information?
- Are there some obvious gaps? For example, does it appear that there are insufficient goals/strategies for the number and types of projects.
- Do you need to plug the gaps at this point or use "placeholder" information.
- What mitigating actions do you need to implement to ensure this does not interfere with the deployment process?
