Scope changes happen on every project, but tracking them consistently is difficult. Without a formal change order process, scope creep goes untracked, budgets become meaningless, and billing disputes arise because there's no documentation of what was agreed.
We implemented a change order system that captures scope modifications as formal records linked to projects. Each change order documents what changed, the cost impact, customer approval status, and billing implications—creating accountability around scope management.
Change orders are created against projects with line items for scope additions or reductions. Approval workflows route to appropriate stakeholders, and approved changes automatically update project budgets and create billing events as configured.
