Leader Asks if there are Barriers to the Scope of Work

Experienced leaders and crews have insight into the hazards that may impact the scope of work, and it’s important to call on those members of the crew to help others understand the importance of staying on plan. When a job or task starts to veer off, it’s crucial to let the leader know right away, so that they can take appropriate action to keep the project on track.

Exceeding the scope of work can lead to a variety of problems including safety performance issues, cost overruns, delays, and reduced quality. When ancillary activities are not considered and accounted for, it can also lead to a lack of resources and a lack of coordination between different teams resulting in confusion, inefficiencies, and errors that can ultimately impact the overall success of a project.

Keep in mind that exceeding the work scope can also impact the budget and schedule. When the schedule is affected, it can lead to increased pressure to get more done, which can result in shortcuts being taken and increased risk. Additional work means additional cost and additional time, which causes more delays and overruns, negatively impacting the financials of the project and the organization. Furthermore, not considering ancillary activities, such as safety permits, safety inspections, and QC approvals, can lead to further delays and additional costs. Therefore, maintain the scope of work to avoid these issues.

Staying on course is essential for the success of your project. Through strong leadership and crew engagement, you can ensure a safe, productive, and high-quality job. With effective planning in the scope of work, you can achieve the desired outcome and deliver a successful project.
