What your team can do
Keep the proposed change and its supporting details together.
Review the change alongside its supporting project records.
Bring the relevant documents to the commercial review.
01 / In detail
Record the proposed change so the commercial team has a clear starting point.
Describe the proposed variation and retain its details in a consistent project record.
Explain which work the change concerns and the circumstances that led to it.
02 / In detail
Gather the records that explain how the event arose and why it may matter commercially.
Keep the documents supporting the variation available to the people assessing it.
For example, consider a programme delay alongside the recorded risk when discussing a potential variation.
03 / In detail
Prepare the question for the commercial team without presenting a recorded event as an agreed entitlement.
Review the recorded facts before assessing classification, entitlement and value.
Review the event and supporting documents before agreeing how to proceed.
Putting it into practice
Start with the record, check the evidence and agree who does what next.
