The Approval Process

When a Roadmap item reaches the Decision stage, it's time for the Authority to make a call. The approval process is how that decision gets recorded, transparently and permanently.

How it works

The Authority assigned to the item will see approval options on the item's page. They can choose to approve or reject the item, and optionally add a comment explaining their reasoning.

Once the decision is made, it's recorded on the item for everyone to see: who approved or rejected, when they did it, and any comments they included.

After the decision

If approved, the item moves to Execution, the green light to get started. If rejected, it moves to Concluded with the rejection reason recorded. In some cases, the Authority might send the item back for more Consultation before making a final call.

Either way, the decision and its reasoning are part of the item's permanent record. This means we can always look back and understand not just what was decided, but why.
