1. Describe the task

Portfolio reviews look inward: budget, timeline, health status. Yet projects often fail because the market or the technology moved while the project stayed on plan. Foresight and portfolio teams usually work in separate tools, so that connection is rarely made.

Hand the connection to Prism. It reads each project’s description and goals, searches recent external signals, and says whether they support or threaten the project. For each project, it recommends whether to accelerate, pivot or review. Projects with no relevant signal are marked for review by default, rather than given an invented finding.

2. Give context

Required inputs

  • Project elements with a clear description and goal.
  • A view or filter with the projects you want checked
