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.

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