What is a Mutual Action Plan?
A mutual action plan (MAP) is a shared, co-created document that outlines the agreed-upon steps, milestones, owners, and timelines for both the selling team and the buying team to complete in order to reach a decision.
Why Mutual Action Plans Matter
MAPs convert abstract timelines into concrete commitments from both sides, creating accountability and providing an early signal when deals are at risk of slipping.
Common Components of a Mutual Action Plan
- Shared goal and target decision date
- Evaluation or procurement steps with assigned owners
- Technical, legal, and security review milestones
- Contract and commercials process with timeline
