Project Overall Health	Comments
Red	The CRIIS project remains Red (escalation) status as it is not currently meeting the SPR No. 1 baseline and is dependent on the timely approval of SPR No. 2.

Focus Area/Rating	Comments
Governance Green	This focus area is trending Yellow given the pending approval of SPR No. 2. • Executive engagement remains active, with the CIO providing monthly updates to CDT leadership and preparing SPR No. 2 for submission in August 2026. • The IPO Manager recommends documenting SPR No. 2 decision in the decision log and securing ESC approval of a formal change request.
Time Management Red	The Time focus area remains in a Red (escalation) status, as the project is approaching the end date in September 2026. • SPR No. 2 will be submitted as a time‑extension request, allowing the project to complete the independent assessment and re‑planning activities needed to establish future scope, cost, schedule, and implementation methodology. • The IPO Manager recommends documenting SPR No. 2 decision in the governance decision log and securing ESC approval of a formal change request.
Cost & Contract Management Red	The Cost and Contract focus area has a Red (escalation) rating, with no new contract actions this month • The IPO Manager recommends identifying cost‑related watch‑list risks and developing updated projections to support future procurement planning once assessment findings are available.
Scope Management Red	Scope remains in Red (escalation) status as formal scope definition cannot proceed during the project pause and key architectural inputs from the Independent Assessment are still in development.
Resources Red	Resources remain in Red (escalation) status, with the project paused, and no delivery resources engaged. • The IPO Manager notes that the resource readiness cannot be assessed until the Independent Assessment is complete.
Quality Red	Quality remains in Red (escalation) status, with no quality work products or controls possible while project execution is paused, and the Quality readiness depends on the Independent Assessment findings.
Risk And Issues Green	The Risk and Issue Management focus area continues to hold a Satisfactory rating, with no new risks or issues logged during the paused period and overall risk activity minimal. • The IPO Manager recommends logging a schedule watch‑list item to reflect the dependency on timely approval of SPR No. 2 before the project end.
Transition Readiness Yellow	This focus area has a cautionary rating, as the project has not yet reached a defined baseline. Transition dependencies will need to be revisited once assessment findings are available.
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.
