The objective of the Managing a Stage Boundary process is to:
✔ Assure the Project Board that all products in the Stage Plan for the current stage have been completed and approved
✔ Prepare the Stage Plan for the next stage
✔ Review and, if necessary, update the Project Initiation Documentation (in particular the Business Case, Project Plan, project approach, strategies, project management team structure and role descriptions)
✔ Provide the information needed for the Project Board to assess the continuing Viability of the project - including the aggregated risk exposure
✔ Record any information or lessons that can help later stages of this project and/or other projects
✔ Request authorization to start the next stage.
For exceptions, the objectives of the Managing a Stage Boundary process are to:
✔ Prepare an Exception Plan as directed by the Project Board
✔ Seek approval to replace the Project Plan or Stage Plan for the current stage with the Exception Plan.
