    When the scope of the project changes , the best approach is to act quickly and strategically. Change Evaluation – I analyze the change to understand its impact on cost, schedule and resources. Communication with Stakeholders – I notify the team, client and suppliers of changes and discuss possible options. Reassessing Resources – If additional personnel, materials or equipment are needed. Plan Review – If necessary, I update the project plan with new deadlines and alternative strategies to ensure its completion. Risk Management – Analyze potential risks from change and find ways to minimize them. Documentation of Changes – Every change is officially recorded for transparency and to avoid misunderstandings in the future.

    When the scope changes unexpectedly, first review all documents to understand the impact on cost, schedule, and resources. Communicate clearly with all stakeholders and document every change to avoid disputes. Prioritize tasks, manage time effectively, and track additional costs to maintain financial control. Ensure compliance with contract terms and follow proper change order procedures. Clear communication and thorough documentation are key to handling changes smoothly.

    - Clearly define the nature and extent of the scope change and document its source. - Communicate the scope change and its potential impact to all stakeholders (clients, contractors, suppliers, etc.) and work closely with the client to understand their needs and expectations. - Update the project schedule, budget, and resource allocation to reflect the scope change and develop revised technical specifications and drawings. - Implement the scope change in a controlled and systematic manner and ensure that all work is performed to the required standards. - Maintain a flexible attitude. Electrical infrastructure projects can be very complex, and often unknown variables will come into play.
