Executive summary

A governance pack that specifies the approval gates, acceptance criteria, required evidence, and acceptance records for executing a product portfolio rationalization.

What is inside

What the evidence pack covers

The asset takes an approved rationalization case and its implementation plan and gives the governing body what it needs to control execution: a gate architecture mapped to the program's waves, acceptance criteria written as numeric thresholds, an evidence specification for every criterion, a control evidence register, and acceptance records that make each decision traceable and each condition closeable.

  • Where approval gates sit in a rationalization program and what each gate decides
  • How acceptance criteria are written so a gate can be passed or failed on evidence
  • What evidence each criterion requires, who owns it, and how fresh it must be
  • How a control evidence register keeps the program auditable between gates
  • How acceptance records carry gate decisions and conditions to the benefits review
  • Governance health measures: completeness, first-pass acceptance, exceptions, cycle time
  • A worked synthetic example, a failure case, and practice exercises for review teams
