The Portfolio Sync is a formal monthly Portfolio Leadership Team event focusing on execution issues and decisions – risks, blockers, dependencies, key metrics, progress against delivery and portfolio objectives etc.
It is important to ensure the principle of ‘management by exception’ is adhered to in these meetings.
This should not be the only time these are reviewed, discussed, and decisions made – key to success will be the effective and efficient resolution of risks and issues and the making of timely decisions, and therefore this should be a constant activity for the Portfolio Leadership Team. The Portfolio Sync is a formal opportunity to do a holistic review and deal with any escalations.
