READING THE MAP
station — a construct or practice
interchange — publications meet
gate — a sponsor go / no-go
the river — only organizations cross
PMBOK® Guide 8th Ed. — the ground the

The feedback loop
FEEDBACK LOOP — benefits reviews (6–12 months after delivery) test outcomes against the mandate and feed future investment decisions
Threshold breach — escalation
impact threshold breached → escalation
a trigger for a decision — not a notification
