Draft outline details
Step by step
- Notice the trigger: the contract is unsigned at week 3 and the provider reports a slip.
- Confirm the facts with the provider and estimate the new date.
- Compare the threshold in the contingency card with the situation.
- Planned mistake: wait another week hoping for recovery. Fix: follow the agreed threshold and invoke at the decision deadline.
- Communicate the switch to affected teams and leadership with impact and options.
- Update the register, timeline, and costs; set a new trigger for returning to the original plan.
