Escalation & Resolution Process
The team member identifiesa specific open action item that impedes
progress for the release/program.
Team member contacts the owner to close out the issue or action.
Owner does not provide resolution and offers no further attempts for
closure or indicates they do not plan to close the item.
Team contacts the project managementof the issue/actionowner for
resolution after notifying the owner of the intent to escalate.
Failure of resolution should be brought to the attentionof the
Program Manager. The program manager should facilitatea session
between stakeholders to understand the challengesto resolution and
attempt to close the item.
If the program manager can not resolve the open item with the
stakeholders, all participants should develop a business case with
options for resolution and present to the program sponsor for
resolution, in the steering committee meeting.
The program sponsor should provide final resolution based upon
program vision/strategicobjectives for a closure.
