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 Yellow	This focus area rating is Yellow due to the pending approval of SPR No. 2 and pending Executive Steering Committee (ESC) approval of the SPR No. 2 Change Request, both of which should be completed before the September 9, 2026 authority limit. • Executive leadership continues active engagement, weighing risks and benefits of the available SPR approaches while coordinating closely with CDT to finalize the SPR No. 2 package for review.
Time Management Red	The Time focus area remains in a Red (escalation) status, as the project is approaching the end date in September 2026. • A decision was made by the ESC to submit SPR No. 2 to pause the project until July 2027. The pause will allow the project team to complete all the re-planning activities and develop an execution ready SPR No. 3 based on the market research. • The IPO Manager will continue to monitor SPR No. 2 readiness and submission to ensure the package is complete for CDT and DOF review.
Cost & Contract Management Red	The Cost and Contract focus area has a Red (escalation) rating, with no new contract actions this month. • The SPR FAW is anticipated to be complete before September 9, 2026, and will be submitted to CDT & DOF for review.
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.
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 Yellow	The Risk & Issue focus area is now Yellow, driven by the high‑severity risk associated with the timely approval of SPR No. 2. The SPR No. 2 package is to be submitted to CDT before September 4, 2026.
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.
