Best for managing a client engagement from discovery through handoff.

Use this client delivery plan template to make every handoff from kickoff through client approval easier to see. The schedule protects the sequence from requirements through approval, including room for review and revisions before the final handoff. It begins with a short discovery phase, turns agreed requirements into a delivery plan, and then gives the client review and revision cycle its own place in the schedule. That makes the approval path explicit instead of treating it as a final administrative step. The public template intentionally does not contain client data, contracts, invoices, or private files. Add those details only in the project you create for the engagement. Included schedule ## 14 rows, 9 links, already sequenced. A read-only preview of the published version.
