1. Walk through the current job.
Look at the customer's request, office review, estimate, schedule, crew information and follow-up. Identify which detail is missing or hard to find at each handoff.
Project process
Start with a representative inquiry, estimate or job that shows where staff must re-enter information or chase a change.
Look at the customer's request, office review, estimate, schedule, crew information and follow-up. Identify which detail is missing or hard to find at each handoff.
List the website, customer records, estimating platform, schedule and document tools. Check supported options and limitations before choosing a custom connection or replacement.
Agree on the task someone should be able to finish, the information needed and how the change will be tested. Plan around busy operating periods and document how the affected system can be restored.
Use fictional jobs to check a new inquiry, revised estimate information and a schedule change after crew instructions have been prepared. Verify which staff and customer updates are appropriate before connecting real recipients.
Document who updates public services, job statuses and instructions. Explain how staff recognize an incomplete handoff, and agree separately on ongoing support.
Use the project checklist, then send a short summary.
