Why this route
The route is built from the request’s kind and impact level under the approved authority matrix.
Impact levelMajorAbove SAR 5M or 90 days
- A cost impact of SAR 22.5M is above SAR 5M — «major»: the Change Committee recommends and the Executive Committee 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.
