How is communication handled when there are changes in the project scope?
Short answer
Communication Processes
When there are changes in the project scope, Ouhud GmbH relies on clear communication channels defined at the project outset. These channels can be adjusted depending on the project scope and client requirements to ensure efficient and transparent information sharing. Changes are documented in writing to avoid misunderstandings and to create legal evidence.
Documentation and Traceability
Written documentation of changes typically includes a description of modified requirements, impacts on time and cost frameworks, and approval from involved parties. This documentation is forwarded to all relevant stakeholders, including project teams, clients, and potentially external consultants. Traceability of changes is a central component to ensure transparency and accountability.
Adherence to Contract Terms
As part of communicating changes, adherence to contract terms is emphasized. This includes clarifying cost changes, delays, and potential adjustments to the project scope. Ouhud GmbH commits to informing all relevant parties about possible impacts and finding solutions within the framework of contracts. Communication always occurs in accordance with agreed processes and responsibilities.
Adjustability of Communication Channels
Communication channels are defined at the project outset but can be flexibly adjusted depending on project size, complexity, or client requirements. This enables individual adjustment of the communication strategy without violating the principles of transparency and traceability. Adjustability is typically agreed upon and documented with the client at the project outset.
