% of early no's on project proposals

ValIT Portfolio Management[None]Percentage

Definition

Number of new project proposals as a percentage of the total number of new projects for a given period that are killed during (the early stage of) the approval process.

Use Case / Interpretation

Following the principle of 'Celebrating early no's', the larger the number of poor value projects that get killed in the approval process - as apposed to killing them during the project lifecycle - the more resources (human and financial) can be made available for high value projects.
