Confirm the purpose of the review, populate the required fields, test the evidence with the accountable functional owner, document the decision or next action, and assign a review date before the forum closes.
Review whether actions moved, risks changed, vendors or sites responded, and whether the output has become decision-ready.
Escalate the Project charter when evidence shows unresolved ownership, participant-protection risk, CTQ or endpoint impact, critical-path pressure, budget or vendor-scope change, inspection-readiness gap, or a decision beyond study-team authority.
