Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key deadlines I need to be aware of for Lab Planning?
Lab Planning is an annual process. Specific deadlines are communicated by your project lead or office administrator. Full AOPs are typically required to be approved approximately one month after all projects are approved; however, offices are encouraged to approve projects and the full AOP as early as possible. Specific approval dates are communicated via email each fiscal year.
What happens if my project's scope changes significantly after initial approval? Projects can be modified at any time after initial approval. You will need to identify the modification type, enter the details (which will be tracked in the Change History), and submit the modified project for a revised approval process. This ensures all stakeholders are aware of and agree to the changes.
Can I track the progress of my project's approval workflow? Yes, the approval workflow can be tracked through 'Manage Workflow'. The default approval sequence is Office Administrator, Lab Relationship Manager, Associate Lab Director, Office Director. The Office Director will always be the final approver. You can add additional approval steps, order, and sequence and initiate the workflow.
