Agency client process

Agencies juggle producers, creatives, and client stakeholders. The process still needs one accountable timeline per client agreement.

Roles on agency projects

Assign these roles per agreement so accountability stays clear:

  • Creative party: delivery and submissions
  • Client party: designated approver for Approval Lock
  • Collaborators: comment without binding sign-off
  • Producers: orchestrate milestones in Accountability Chat

Agency workflow on Zlaip

Lock SOW and milestones → Review Workspace per deliverable → revision counters per milestone → change orders for scope expansion → Approval Lock → payment release.

Protect margin at scale

Scope drift across multiple client contacts is the agency margin killer. Inline drift warnings and change orders keep expansion billable.
