SIGN-OFF FORM

1. Your sign-off form should contain the following sections:
   • A title referring to what it is you want the client to sign-off on, e.g., design plan, screen design specifications, etc.
   • A reference to the project on which you are working.
   • A description of what is being signed-off on, including a listing of what has been reviewed and a statement concerning how further changes might be handled once the form has been signed. (Permission to invoice the client for milestones or tasks accomplished might also be included in the description.)
   • Spaces for signing and dating the form by both the client and a representative of the design team
   .
2. Keep copies of the sign-off forms for major project accomplishments in the project notebook or diary. (It is a good idea to provide the client with a copy as well.)
3. Use some type of sign-off form for all the major milestones or products generated during a project, but don't force the client to sign-off on every little aspect of the project. There has to be some middle ground.

APPROVAL OF DESIGN PLANS

Project: The Sales Representative's Guide to the New Sales Strategies

I have reviewed and approved the Design Plans for the interactive multimedia course named above, with changes, additions, deletions or corrections as annotated in the instructional designer's master copy.

I hereby give you approval to proceed with creating the drafts of all workbooks, scripts, and other course materials. I also give my approval for you to invoice my department for satisfactory completion of the Design Plans milestone of this project.

I understand that further changes to the structure, objectives, or content of the course (aside from those specified in the designer's master copy) will likely result in a delay in the final delivery date and could result in additional charges to my department and/or costs to The Company.
