Frequently Asked Questions

Who has authority to reallocate resources?

Resource reallocation between projects requires approval from the resource manager and relevant department director. Cross-departmental moves require executive approval.

How long can a temporary reallocation last?

Temporary reallocations are typically for 2-8 weeks. Extensions beyond that require a new assessment and approval cycle.

How is the impact on donor projects managed?

Impact is assessed and documented before reallocation. Mitigation measures such as timeline adjustments, scope reduction, or backfill plans are agreed upon with the affected campaign.
