Mutual Action Plan

Definition

A shared document between seller and buyer that outlines the key milestones, tasks, and timeline needed to complete a deal evaluation and purchase.

Mutual Action Plans (MAPs), also called joint evaluation plans or close plans, create transparency and shared accountability in the sales process. They typically list milestones like technical evaluation, security review, procurement, legal redline, executive sign-off, and go-live date with owners and due dates for each. MAPs keep deals on track, surface hidden blockers early, and signal buyer commitment. Deals with active MAPs tend to close faster and more predictably.
