Scope Change Coordination
Clarify a proposed change and its implications before agreeing how it should be implemented.
Discuss your requirement ↗Make the change visible.
A change may arise from new information, revised quantities, site conditions or a different client requirement. The important step is to describe the proposed change and review its effect on the existing engagement. The agreed contract or order determines the applicable notification and approval process.
Describe the proposed change
Record what is changing, why it is needed and which activity or deliverable is affected. Reference the relevant instruction, drawing or requirement where available.
Review the effect
Consider scope boundaries, resources, interfaces, programme and commercial implications. Identify the assumptions and information required to assess the change properly.
Clarify the approval route
Confirm who is authorised to review and approve the change under the engagement. Communicate the status clearly so a request is not confused with an agreed instruction.
Update the working record
Once the required agreement is in place, align the scope, programme and relevant records. Make the revised responsibilities and follow-up actions clear to the teams involved.
