The MASSIVE impact of mid-flow Changes | 5 Minute Friday

Prioritize getting designs and plans right the first time to avoid costly and quality-diminishing mid-project changes.

Understand that even small changes can have a 'ripple effect' across an entire project, impacting numerous components and increasing the likelihood of errors.

When changes are unavoidable, allocate sufficient time for re-evaluation and adjustment to prevent rushing, which often leads to mistakes and lower quality work.

Do not prioritize schedule recovery over quality when changes occur; rushing can lead to more significant problems down the line.

Implement a structured process for handling changes: batch them, thoroughly understand their implications, and communicate them clearly before they are acted upon.
