Process

The process of approval relies on When and Why. Collecting an on-time approval from cross-functional teams, through an online approval process is the project manager’s primary focus, and the biggest challenge at the same time.

Tools

Finally, Where and How. Choosing an approval platform for cross-functional teams that improves approval process versus impeding progress can be a big barrier to overcome.

Rule 1. Involve the stakeholders

Don’t bother scheduling a meeting to get approval on the project without making sure the right stakeholders are present. Cross-functional teams and leadership all need to be present at the meeting to ensure the accuracy of the process.

Rule 2. Be prepared

Project iterations require approval every step of the way. Prior to scheduling an official approval meeting, make sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed. It is important to set everyone’s expectations prior to the meeting if the goal is to walk out the door with an official approval.

Rule 3. Follow a process

Approval meetings work best when there is a process in place. Each phase should be discussed and approved linearly to make sure nothing is missed or forgotten.

Tip 1. Take it online and make it visual

Rule 1 suggested above can be pretty challenging in some cases. Gathering cross-functional teams, remote collaborators and stakeholders in one room or at one meeting is probably not always going to happen. Travel, illness, and a busy schedule limit the ability to meet.

Tip 2. Set a deadline and approval guidelines

Remember, it is necessary to clearly communicate a deadline for approval and provide guidelines for the approval process. For example, if an approval is needed for an item within an online whiteboard, the stakeholder should know what they need to mark as approved.
