Making Gate Decisions

Decisions involve taking an action on the project, such as approve, conditional approve, hold, cancel, or resume (after a hold).

Before you begin: View the WBS for a project. See Listing WBS Tasks within a Project or Task.

  1. In the WBS for a project, click the name of the gate.



  2. On the page toolbar, click an action to take on the project:

    Approve. Approves the project to continue. Creates a Decision with the name "Approve".

    Conditional Approve. Approves the project to continue under certain conditions. Creates a Decision with the name "Conditional Approve".

    Hold. Puts the project on hold. Creates a Decision with the name "Approve".

    Cancel. For a project in Active or Hold state, this cancels the project. Creates a Decision with the name "Cancel".

    Resume. Puts the project back to the state from which it was put. Creates a Decision with the name "Resume".

  3. On the Create Decision page, enter a Description for the decision made.



    Note that the decision name has been created from the action you took in step 2.

  4. Click Done.

    The decision is created and the gate is completed.
