Agency project workflow
Select the client and service, capture the required intake information and define the delivery expectations. Keep additional requests separate from the original scope so an agency can review the price and timeline implications before changing the agreement.
Break the order into deliverables with an owner and a due date. Team members can submit work for internal review before it is delivered to the client. Use the project history to see which decision moved the work forward and where attention is still required.
Keep revisions and approvals with the deliverable rather than relying on a private chat as the only history. A repeatable review process helps the team know whether to continue production, make a revision, or close the delivery stage.
Keep invoice and payment records tied to client work. Recurring subscription payments belong in retainer billing, while actual delivery tasks remain on the project list. Review both delivery risk and overdue collections during your agency operating review.
Compare invoice records, payment follow-up and what to test before choosing an agency billing workflow.
