Permission to proceed
Receiving role
Schedule owner
Brief to release
A press slot has been discussed, but the proof approval is absent from the packet.
- Input
- An agreed job brief and the proof associated with that artwork version.
- Output
- A release packet that names the approved version, who approved it and any conditions that affect scheduling.
- Acceptance
- The schedule owner can trace the release to a specific version and approval, or explicitly hold the job for clarification.
- A useful first check
- Take one sample job and follow its approval back to a named proof version. Separate a tentative slot from a released job.
Carry a precise
question forward.
The example does not diagnose your team. Choose the question that would clarify your own handoff and describe the real context in the inquiry.
Read how one missing approval changes the routeStart with one boundary.
Bring an example job and the people on both sides of the handoff. Agree what can be shared before providing internal material. The first output is a clearer agreement to test, not a promise of faster work.
