The project in view

Start with
sample documents and an approval matrix.
Proposed result
a versioned review and signoff journey.
A decision to resolve
approving a version that has since changed.

This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.

Systems & file handoffs for this project

  • Confirm the source format for sample documents and an approval matrix and the required delivery format for a versioned review and signoff journey.
  • Carry a stable reference through each handoff so a reviewer can trace approving a version that has since changed.
  • Begin with a reviewed file exchange if a live integration is unnecessary. Confirm system access before promising an integration.

Questions to answer together

  • Which file formats or systems must exchange information?
  • Who owns access, exports and destination records?
  • How will a failed handoff or superseded file be identified?

What to have at the end

A handoff specification covering formats, permissions, ownership and failure handling.

Record the decision on approving a version that has since changed alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
