Impact of not having | Without the Components List, the organization could have difficulty knowing what components are being carried out and what new work is coming to the various pipelines. This would significantly impact the organization's ability to align its effort and capacity toward those components that would bring the most value to the organization in achieving its business goals.
Reasons for not needing | When the portfolio is small (for example, fewer than five components) or when stakeholders are all internal, decisions and communication about components can occur informally during planning and status meetings.
Representation Options | The information in the Components List can be captured and maintained in a spreadsheet. Another option is to use a portfolio management tool, such as IBM Rational Focal Point to maintain components information and generate the appropriate reports required by the organization.
