How to use this template

  1. Mark where you are

    Highlight the current stage and share the board with the client so everyone sees what has been agreed and what is next.

  2. Agree the deliverables

    Edit the deliverables for each stage to match your appointment documents. These become the checklist for moving on.

  3. Hold the gates

    Do not move past a gate until its approval is in place. Most cost overruns start with design that moved on too early.
