A review of a portfolio allows Programme Managers to comment on the overall health of a programme of work, at the same time as Project Managers are providing a review of their individual projects.

This topic applies to i-lign 3.1.3 onwards.

Portfolio Reviews

Users with the appropriate permissions can view and create Portfolio Reviews. Portfolio Reviews are available from the Corporate > Business Alignment > Portfolios area of i-lign.

A review of a portfolio allows Programme Managers to comment on the overall health of a programme of work, at the same time as Project Managers are providing a review of their individual projects. In practice, both project and portfolio reviews should be consistent.
