Deliverable approval is a process that reviews and authorizes project outputs, work products, or service deliverables before they are submitted to clients or stakeholders. In Moxo, deliverable approval workflows coordinate across project teams, quality reviewers, and management, with AI agents checking deliverable completeness while humans make quality and release decisions.
Deliverable approval

When this process is used

When project milestones produce deliverables requiring review. When client-facing work products need quality approval. When contractual deliverables must meet specification before submission. When internal quality standards must be verified. Ideal for professional services, agencies, consulting firms, and any project-based organization.

Roles involved

Project teams create deliverables and submit for review. Quality reviewers assess against standards and requirements. Subject matter experts validate technical accuracy. Management approves for client release. Account teams coordinate client communication.

Outcomes to expect

Consistent deliverable quality through structured review before release Reduced client revisions by catching issues before submission Clear release authorization with documented approval for each deliverable Protected client relationships through reliable quality standards

Step by step process

Your version of this process may vary based on roles, systems, data, and approval paths. Moxo's flow builder can be configured with AI agents, conditional branching, dynamic data references, and sophisticated logic to match how your organization runs this workflow. The steps below illustrate one example.

Deliverable submission

The process begins when a project team submits a deliverable for approval, including the work product, requirements reference, and any notes on approach or constraints. AI agents may validate completeness against the deliverable specification.

Quality review

Quality reviewers assess the deliverable against defined standards, checking for accuracy, completeness, formatting, and adherence to requirements. They document findings and either approve or return for revision with specific feedback.

Technical validation

For technical deliverables, subject matter experts verify accuracy and appropriateness of solutions, recommendations, or outputs. They confirm the deliverable meets professional standards and addresses the stated requirements.

Management approval

Management reviews the deliverable in context of client relationship, project objectives, and business implications. They approve for release or request additional refinement. Significant deliverables may require senior leadership sign-off.

Release authorization

Approved deliverables are authorized for client submission. The approval record documents who reviewed and approved. The deliverable is handed off for client communication with appropriate context.

Inputs + systems

This process relies on deliverable files, requirements documentation, quality standards, and project context. Triggers include milestone completion, scheduled delivery dates, or team submission. Integration with project management tools like Monday.com, Asana, or Jira, document management systems, and client portals supports delivery operations.

Key decision points

Key decision points include determining whether the deliverable meets quality standards, whether it satisfies requirements, whether it is ready for client review, and whether any risks require mitigation before release.

Common failure points

Deliverables released without adequate review causing client issues. Quality feedback not specific enough for effective revision. Review bottlenecks delaying project timelines. Inconsistent standards applied across similar deliverables.
