Report success with consistency and confidence.
Leverage the sustainable product design expertise of your sustainability team.
Check everything. A product sustainability expert can review and check everything in a project in minutes. Check QA items off a list. Approve tab by tab. Use comments to raise issues with the project design team.
Review early and often. Pipeline and pre reviews at the brand level by brand sustainability experts can catch and correct issues early in the stage gate process.
This worked there – can we do it here? Brand and company level reviews help to share insights and success across projects that are similar and stimulate thinking across projects that are different.
Plan for iterations and evolution. A Footprinter project is a design space. Match review workflows with your stage gate and brand management processes. Reviews can be multi-stage, linear or hierarchical.
Different rules can apply to different situations. A last revision to a legacy product can be reviewed differently than a new breakthrough product.
Lock it down. An approved project is set to read-only. It can be edited but this revokes the project approval. Projects can also be fully locked down by the sustainability team. Many clients only allow approved projects to be used a benchmarks.
