Draft the change request
Drafts a formal change request document that describes the scope change, its cause, the additional effort required, and the proposed fee adjustment.
In / outOriginal scope + change description + cause + effort estimate → formal change request document (scope delta, justification, fee impact, approval requirements)
You might say…
“I'd done the extra work before writing up the change request and lost the leverage — now I draft the CR the moment I see the scope shifting.”
What it does
Frames an out-of-scope request as a formal change order — additional effort, revised deliverables, adjusted timeline and fee, plus the rationale against the agreed baseline scope. Used once a request is judged to fall outside scope.
Trigger: Use when a scope change is identified and needs to be formalised; provide the original scope, the change, the cause, and estimated effort impact.
