15. Within MOD, Designated SROs are accountable to the Defence Board, as the Sponsoring Group, for delivering the required changes or capabilities. For other programmes, SROs will be accountable to their Sponsoring Group, for example:
(a) The Joint Capabilities Board (JCB) for chairs of capability delivery Programme Boards.
(b) TLB management boards for those staff undertaking non-DCP major business change programmes.
16. An SRO's authority will be spelt out in the letter of appointment. Given the complexity of MOD programmes and projects, including the possibility of a project being part of several programmes, and the relationship with TLB holders and Process Owners, this is not trivial. These relationships are further described in Annex B.
