When the review process is set to Direct (no workflow enforced), managing a demand stays flexible and straightforward.

1. What changes without enforcement

  • The demand still starts as a Draft and still needs to be submitted: when you Submit for Review, your team is alerted and can pick the demand up right away, without approval steps.
  • Anyone with Risk Management access can see and manage every demand: accept it to start working, request more information from the requester, add and assess risks, and mark it completed.
  • There is no mandatory risk-response round and no approval gate before completion.

2. What stays the same

Every status change still asks for confirmation and is recorded in the Demand Status drawer's timeline, so the demand's history stays complete. Due dates, priorities, tags, evidences and comments work exactly as they do under an enforced workflow.
