The project in view

finish plans and plank dimensions.
Proposed result
a measured area and plank allowance schedule.
A decision to resolve
lay direction and pack rounding.

This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.

Scope & boundaries for this project

  • Confirm drawing revisions, finishes, measurement boundaries and exclusions before measuring. Raise unresolved items as RFIs.
  • Use “a measured area and plank allowance schedule” as the proposed deliverable; confirm what is included in that description.
  • Resolve this boundary early: lay direction and pack rounding.

Questions to answer together

  • Who uses the result, and what decision does it support?
  • Which part of the current process is included?
  • Which exceptions and adjacent tasks are excluded?

What to have at the end

A bounded scope with an owner, an intended result and explicit exclusions.

Record the decision on lay direction and pack rounding alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
