Infrastructure and Projects Authority guidance requires all of our major programmes to have a Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) who allocates at least 50% of their time to leading their programme.

The allocation of time is based on the scope, scale, complexity and maturity of the programme and is agreed by the Chief Executive of the Infrastructure and Projects Authority, the Accounting Officer(s) and the Senior Responsible Owner.

As a result, major programmes that have been agreed as needing only a part time SRO are:
