How the practice works
The review compares active work against current priorities, capacity and evidence of progress. Stopping, pausing and reducing scope are available decisions. A portfolio in which every initiative remains essential is a catalogue that has avoided its principal task.

A working example
A new request competes with a long-running program whose original purpose has largely been met. Sponsors consider the cost of continuation and the consequences of stopping. Historical effort informs the discussion without becoming an automatic claim on future resources.
