Sign-off process
Engagement Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in January 2024, states: ‘The sign-off process is a formal component of the RIBA Plan of Work, representing a shared decision-making process concluded at the end of each work stage. This involves a comprehensive review and approval of completed work and engagement outcomes by both the project team and participants before progressing to the project’s next stage. Within engagement, the sign-off process ensures collective agreement and approval before advancing, facilitating the identification and discussion of constraints. Additionally, it allows for the formulation of a new strategy, if necessary, thereby mitigating the risk of costly delays and disputes later in the project. Various approaches and techniques, such as consensus decision-making, can be employed to ensure fair and inclusive decision-making conclusions.’
