Decision (Portfolio)

The Decision screen gathers in a single register the decisions taken or pending on the projects of the portfolio. Useful for steering committees to prepare reviews and trace governance.

Reached through the Decision menu of a project portfolio.

Consolidated register

Columns are the fields of the Decision entity, shared by every project:
