		<description>No matter how good your analysis is and however excellent the solution developed, if this is not what the business wanted, it will deliver zero business value.

Sign-off is very very important.</description>

		<description>As a business analyst, I always insist on getting &#039;approval&#039; for the requirement specification from the business users. A simple email stating &quot;Approved&quot; is sufficient to go ahead.</description>

		<description>I totally agree with Kupe, but would be very careful with a thumbs-up type signoff.  Of course, it always depends on your organization, but I have been bitten by the bug that got me because someone claims they didn&#039;t sign off when they actually did and just don&#039;t remember!  And I also like Jim&#039;s terminology..</description>

		<description>I agree with your signoff post. However, the term &#039;sign-off&#039; is not well received for many reasons in my company. I like to use the terms &#039;acceptance&#039;, &#039;verification&#039; or &#039;validation&#039;, and incorporate process to support these functions within the development lifecycle. It&#039;s not what you say, it&#039;s how you say it I guess in my organization anyway.</description>
