Management Approval is the process of obtaining authorization or consent to proceed with a project, or to make changes or adjustments to an existing project. It involves collecting input from all relevant stakeholders and decision makers in order to reach agreement on a plan that meets the desired objectives. Management Approval ensures that the resources required for a project are correctly allocated and the team has appropriate lines of authority, accountability and responsibility. It is an important step to help ensure successful results for both short and long-term initiatives.
