Compare current situation to the original asset allocation plan 6. Green light worthy higher risk projects when possible Even if cancelled later, the lessons learned/information gained is often worth it 7. Track project performance against business metrics, not project metrics 8. Establish perpetual planning guidelines centered around these principles 41 2014 CA. All rights reserved.
