Working with the Cerri Scorecard (v10.xx)

Gates are critical decision points in a project and require careful assessment. It is common for organizations to hold a gate review meeting where a set of success factors are evaluated to determine the appropriate course of action. The scorecard form available in Cerri Project captures the score for each success factor. These factors can differ for each tollgate and may reference documents or records attached to the project.

Once the phase review process setup is completed, you can populate the scorecard in your project template.
  1. Open any gate, and under the «Setup» tab, click on the «Add New» button to add success factors.
  2. Click on the pencil icon to build a link to the reference document used to assess success factors.
