of project failures trace back to intake
more requests than capacity in a typical PMO
rejected requests should ever be a surprise
Build rules around budget thresholds, project type, risk level, business unit, or combine conditions for more precise routing.
The matched approver, individual or group, is notified immediately with full context, scoring, and a clear decision prompt.
A default approver is always configured as a safety net. If no specific policy matches, the request routes there automatically, nothing stalls, nothing gets lost.
Projects without a named sponsor, confirmed budget, or executive backing fail at a disproportionately high rate. Intake forces these to be declared before a request can progress. No sponsor, no submission.
Approving work without checking what's already in flight is how teams get stretched to breaking point. Completix surfaces available capacity during review so decisions are made with a full picture.
Low-value work crowds out high-value work not because of bad intentions, but because there's no shared scoring model. A visible priority ranking aligns the PMO and leadership on what actually matters.
Define exactly what information a request must include. Business case, strategic rationale, estimated cost, risk indicators, and sponsor sign-off, all required before submission is possible.
Set governance rules once. Requests are assessed and routed to the correct approver automatically based on budget, project type, risk rating, or business unit, no manual triage ever required.
Build your scoring model around the criteria that matter to your organisation. Every request receives a score and the ranked queue gives leadership a clear, shared view of what to fund first.
Decision rights are enforced by role. Portfolio managers, finance approvers, and executive sponsors each see what's relevant to their step in the process, nothing more, nothing less.
Every submission, score, comment, approval, and rejection is logged with a timestamp and owner. You're always audit-ready, and can explain any decision made in the last three years.
