Overview
Approvals become bottlenecks when nobody knows who owns them or what information is required.
This article helps you use KREP to create faster and more accountable approval paths.
How to use it in KREP
- Map each approval type to one owner and one escalation route.
- Define the information required before a request is considered valid.
- Track pending approvals and review response times by team.
- Use approval outcomes to improve policy clarity and training.
What to monitor
- Approval aging.
- Requests returned for missing information.
- Managers who repeatedly delay workflow.
Best practices
- Keep approval rules visible to requesters.
- Do not route everything through one senior approver.
- Review approval data monthly.
