Writing a mandate
A Mandate must be written using the mandate template (DOC, 101KB) and taken to an appropriate endorsement board if:

- a new project requests to be added into the in-flight Transition State Plan
For further support see the mandate guidance.
Writing a Change Control Notice (CCN)
A Change Control Notice (CCN) must be written using the Change Control Notice template (DOC, 96KB) and taken to an appropriate endorsement board if project or programme predicts or experiences a material change such as:
- there is an increase in funding required, where the original funding is not sufficient
- there is an increase in opportunity cost, for example, because of an increased duration of a project
- there is a reduction of savings or when savings are being declared as undeliverable
- there is an inability to deliver any of the benefits stated in the business case
- the project is proposed to be cancelled or paused prior to full delivery
