Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.
Separate correction from expansion
Compare requests with agreed requirements and examples. Fixing noncompliance differs from adding a process. Record and resolve ambiguity rather than treating every comment as extra or absorbing undefined changes without explaining consequences.
Record impact and decision
Record description, reason, requester, affected components and impact. Identify displaced work and additional inputs. Date approval, rejection or deferral. Maintain one current scope version so design, development and client do not unknowingly follow different agreements.
Walk through a cross-cutting change
Example: another language affects copy, navigation, metadata and testing even with the same design. Record those effects, not just duplicated pages. A change is ready when acceptance is testable and affected people know the version, limits and revised date.
Key takeaways
- New requests need impact, a decision and a scope version before execution.
