Major investment and operational decisions benefit from structured
governance, technical review, and executive oversight. Multiple approval
levels, however, may delay important business decisions.

Apply risk-based governance, allowing routine decisions to follow
streamlined approval paths while reserving extensive reviews for
high-risk changes.
