Decisions by Runpoint

Your partners review each plan and give an answer within two days.

With Runpoint Decisions, your partners, account leads and delivery leads click through each new screen and tell us what to change before we build it.

We use it on every Runpoint project.

02Waiting on answers

Software projects slow down while people wait for feedback and approvals.

Your account teams know this from client work: a question sent to a group chat of twelve people can sit for days.

03How a review works

Everyone who has to approve the work sees it, comments on it and answers.

Here is one review: the first full pass at a shift planner for a sample manufacturer, with five approvers and two days on the clock.

  1. 01

    We send a working screen

    Your people click through a working version of the new screen instead of reading a long document.

  2. 02

    We ask the questions that matter

    A short note says what the screen is for and the few questions we need answered before we build.

  3. 03

    People comment on the exact spot

    Anyone can drop a pin where they mean, and the right person replies in the same thread.

  4. 04

    Each approver gives an answer

    Approve, ask for changes, or decline and set up time to talk, and everyone sees who has answered.

04Where it fits

Decisions comes after we find the problem and before we build the fix.

Every system we build for an agency or consulting firm goes through the same four steps.
