How can I design a sign off workflow ?
Introduction
KTern offers the user to assign and create sign-off based on the project requirement. The sign-off workflow starts from creating the sign-off to closing after the last approval of the approval matrix.
The Sign-off workflow includes adding references, tracking the progress of approval and also the resources which might include files , discussions, notes & supporting links.
