What this step requires:

Create a formal review task in VIEWS and route to all appropriate stakeholders. EPMO formal review will be included in the HRA review. Please check our tasker attachments (006 03B) for a formally formatted version.

How EPMO supports this step:

  • Verifies inclusion of all necessary reviewing offices.
  • Provides guidance on office equities for certain policy types.
  • Ensures feedback received during the review is sufficiently addressed.
  • Facilitates resolution of procedural issues that may impede timely reviews.
