Projects come under pressure through unclear prerequisites, missing materials or delayed decisions. Fixed percentage buffers do not solve this; transparency and controlled change do.
Create shared clarity before starting
Confirm scope, interfaces, access, materials and contacts. During delivery, record each deviation with its impact, decision and next action.
- Confirm scope and exclusions
- Check materials and prerequisites
- Name ownership and communication routes
- Approve changes before work
- Feed lessons into job costing
