Project Overall Health	Comments
Red	The CRIIS project remains Red (escalation) status as it is not currently meeting the Special Project Report (SPR) no.1 baseline. However, stabilization efforts continue that will support establishing a new baseline.

Focus Area/Rating	Comments
Governance Green	Project governance remains satisfactory, with leadership maintaining engagement during the execution pause. No new Executive Steering Committee (ESC) decisions were required or made this month.
Time Management Red	The Time focus area remains in a Red (escalation) status, as the project continues in a temporary execution pause following the termination of the primary solution integrator contract. • CalRecycle onboarded a group of contractors to conduct an independent assessment that will inform the project’s future delivery approach and support development of a high‑level replanning timeline.
Cost & Contract Management Red	The Cost and Contract focus area has a Red (escalation) rating, as no revised cost baseline exists. • Updated cost estimates will be developed after completing the independent assessment. Scope of work appears to be aligned with Lessons Learned, addressing gaps in architectural direction, customization control, and early risk identification to support a stable path forward before project restart.
Scope Management Red	Scope remains in Red (escalation) status as the project execution remains paused, and scope decisions are pending completion of the independent assessment.
Resources Red	Resources remain in Red (escalation) status as the project execution has paused and no delivery activities are authorized. • The IPO Manager will review the restart Staffing Plan when it becomes available to validate that resource availability aligns with the proposed re‑planning timeline.
Quality Red	Quality remains in Red (escalation) status as project quality activities remain paused. The IPO Manager will review the completed assessment when available to determine whether they provide the foundational clarity needed to re‑establish quality standards.
Risk And Issues Green	The Risk and Issue Management focus area continues to hold a Satisfactory rating, as Risk activity remains minimal during the project pause. No new risks were logged during this reporting period.
Transition Readiness Yellow	This focus area has a cautionary rating, as the transition planning remains on hold. The IPO Manager recommends identifying transition‑related dependencies that will need to be updated and incorporated into the future replanning timeline.
Conditions For Approval Yellow	The project must submit a Maintenance and Operations plan for CDT’s approval no later than six months before implementation. With the solution vendor contract now concluded and future milestones to be defined through SPR no. 2, this requirement will be reassessed once a new solution approach and updated schedule are established.
Corrective Action Green	None.
