Frequently Asked Questions
Can approval be given verbally?
Verbal approval may be accepted to avoid delays, but must be followed by written confirmation within 48 hours to maintain the audit trail.
What if stakeholder conditions conflict?
The treatment plan manager facilitates a discussion between the conflicting stakeholders to reach consensus. If consensus is not possible, the treatment plan sponsor makes the final decision.
What if a stakeholder does not respond by the deadline?
The treatment plan manager follows up directly. If the stakeholder remains unresponsive, the treatment plan sponsor may be asked to intervene or the approval may proceed based on the governance rules.
