Sunsetting: Strategies for Portfolio Management and Decommissioning Projects

Home / Topics / Assessment / Sunsetting: Strategies for Portfolio Management and Decommissioning Projects

Even successful projects and services result in maintenance needs that can take a significant amount of ongoing time and effort. How do we create time for new projects and initiatives? Shutting things down takes time and effort, but can allow you to go in new directions and meet current and emerging needs. As a community we talk about how to initiate successful projects and services, and we think now is a good time to talk more about these later stages of the project lifecycle: sunsetting and decommissioning. We will present strategies for decommissioning projects and greatly reducing this maintenance burden. We will share our approach to portfolio management for individuals and our department with an eye towards identifying candidate applications, initiatives, and services for sunsetting. Finally, we will discuss how these approaches have changed the way we approach new projects.
