What this step produces.
Approved Scope Baseline #

Vision Approval Decision #
The recorded decision by the authorised people to approve, reject or rework the vision. It lets the project move on with a clear mandate.
Techniques #
Techniques used in this step.
Acceptance Surface Composite review #

Lite Governance steering #
A light form of oversight where a small group sets direction and decides with minimal formality. It keeps approval quick without losing accountability.
