"We knew we had to make something that small and medium sized companies could just use" said Kinetic Data CEO John Sundberg "and we wanted to make sure teams could expand when needed."

Read more

A guide formed from everything we’ve learned about this commonly used process.

Acceptance, agreement, consensus, and authorization; approval has a lot of meanings and each team and task has unique needs and goals.

We have been forced to seek answers or problem resolution and we want our request handled as quickly as possible—a reflection of having become a real-time society with real-time expectations.
