Review and approve estimates as an IPT leader

As an IPT lead for a program, you can review and approve the estimates for several WBS work packages at a time as follows:

Procedure

Use the standard search capability to search for the keyword wbs.

All the results matching the keyword are displayed, potentially including ones that are not related to work breakdown structures.
Choose Filter and then select WBS Element Revision from the list under Type in the Filters panel.
Select IPT Review from the list under Estimation State in the Filters panel.
Select your user ID from the list under Next Level IPT Approver in the Filters panel.

Tip: Save this index search as a named saved search. You can then use it for later approvals without going through the previous steps again.
Approve the WBS work packages awaiting IPT approval.
