Each recommendation has been given Critical, Essential or Recommended status. The definition of each status is as follows:

Critical (Do Now) – To increase the likelihood of a successful outcome it is of the

greatest importance that the project should take action immediately.

Essential (Do By) – To increase the likelihood of a successful outcome the project should take action in the near future.

Recommended – The Project should benefit from the uptake of this recommendation.

Each recommendation has been aligned with one of the SG's PPM Principles and the SG Head of Profession.

Annex A lists the principles.

You should then share it with the relevant SG`s Accountable Officer and copy it to the SG`s Portfolio, Programme and Project Assurance Hub (PPPA). Thereafter, you are responsible for implementing the actions in response to the recommendations. If the review has identified serious deficiencies or difficulties (including probable failure to meet the planned budget) within the programme the Accountable Officer should inform the relevant Minister/s.
