What to include in your creative review and scope changes

  • Keep the Client in context

    Keep Client, deliverable, version, review round, requested revision, scope classification, account owner and sign-off together so the next person can understand the request or record.

  • When the next step needs a decision

    A sample client reviews a campaign banner and asks for a typo fix plus a new format. The creative lead identifies the typo as a correction and the format as another deliverable.

  • Keep sign-off visible

    Record the account owner's scope decision before promising additional work.

  • Choose what each person needs

    Give the designer a working view and the creative reviewer a review view. Keep Client and deliverable attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
