Stakeholders identified in the Evaluate phase must approve a Demand so it can move forward. If the budget for a Demand is more than $1 million, it must also be approved by an executive approval group (refer to [Configuring Ivanti Neurons for PPM ](docId:65iUIo-P-qpq3_il36u2g)).

Stakeholders are alerted via email of a pending approval.

When all required stakeholders approve the Demand, the status automatically moves to Assessing. During the Assessing Phase, a Project or Portfolio Manager reviews the Demand for inclusion in a Portfolio.
