Project Completion, Sign-Off & Handover

Project Completion, Sign-Off & Handover

When the work defined in your contract is complete, Progressive Robot follows a structured sign-off and handover process to ensure you receive everything you need and are fully confident in what has been delivered.

Step 1 — Completion Notification

Your Project Manager will notify you when all deliverables are ready for review. At this point the project status will change to Pending Acceptance in the portal.

Step 2 — Review & User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

You will have an agreed review period (typically 5–10 business days, depending on the contract) to test and evaluate the deliverables. During this period:

  • Raise any defects or issues as support tickets, marking them as Defect — UAT
  • The team will address any genuine defects within the original scope at no additional cost
  • New requirements discovered during UAT are treated as Change Requests and will be quoted separately

Step 3 — Formal Sign-Off

Once you are satisfied with the deliverables, you will be asked to sign a Project Completion Certificate. This confirms:

  • All contracted work has been delivered
  • You accept the deliverables
  • The warranty or post-launch support period begins (if applicable)

The completion certificate is available in the Contracts section of this portal for your digital signature.

Step 4 — Handover Documentation

Where applicable, Progressive Robot will provide a handover pack that may include:

  • Technical documentation (architecture diagrams, system guides, API docs)
  • Access credentials for systems we have set up (delivered securely)
  • Training sessions or recorded walkthroughs
  • Runbooks or operational guides for your team

Step 5 — Final Invoice

The final project invoice will be raised upon sign-off. Payment is due within the terms stated in your contract (typically 14 days).

Post-Project Support

After project completion, support is available as follows:

  • Defect Warranty Period: Most projects include a 30-day warranty period during which genuine defects are fixed at no charge. This begins from the sign-off date.
  • Ongoing Support: If you require ongoing support beyond the warranty period, ask your Account Manager about our Managed Services or Support Retainer packages.
  • Ad Hoc Changes: Future changes or enhancements can be requested as new work — we will issue a fresh estimate and contract.

Feedback

We value your feedback. After project completion you will receive a short satisfaction survey. Your responses help us improve our service and ensure we keep delivering high-quality work for UK businesses.
