Why this route
The route is built from the request’s kind and impact level under the approved authority matrix.
Impact levelMajorAbove SYP 125M or 90 days
- A cost impact of SYP 562.5M is above SYP 125M — «major»: the Change Committee recommends and the Executive Council decides.
- It has a financial link, so Finance & Procurement take part before the decision.
- It changes scope or deliverables, so the project owner must accept it.
