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

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.
Who has authority to reallocate resources?
