Developing a Streamlined Approval Process

Project managers often struggle with a slow and confusing approval process which can hinder project progression. To create an effective approval process, project managers need to keep the number of reviewers small, make dates very clear, identify the steps clearly, create a checklist for reviewers, and set out automatic rejection or approval criteria. It is also important to outline the next steps in the process so that work can begin immediately, whatever the outcome of the approval process.
