The scope changed. Bill it.

- Time tracking
The extra page arrives as a sentence in a thread. You build it, you absorb it, and at month end the project is over budget with nothing to point at. A change request that lands as a priced record turns that sentence into a decision the client makes. Fill it in and watch the change order draft itself.
Watch the request become a priced change order.
Describe the change and it becomes a change order document, plus a record on the board waiting for approval.
The request, the price, and the hours share one record.
In Ascend the change request form writes to the project database, the change order generates from that record, and the hours you log against the work carry through to the invoice. Create a free workspace and run your own.
Run your own — freeFrom an ask in a thread to an approved line item.
The request form writes to the project database, the change order generates from that record, and the hours log against the work it created.
1. The client asks in writing
Send the change request form link instead of absorbing the ask in a thread. What they want, when they want it, and who asked all arrive in one place.
2. The ask becomes a priced record
The request lands on the project database as a record with effort and fee. Generate the change order from it and send it back for approval.
3. The work logs against the change
Once approved, start the timer against the change record itself or the project task it belongs to. Those hours carry through to the invoice you generate at month end.
Unpriced work is the most expensive work you do.
A form tool captures the request and leaves it there. Here the request is already the record the document prints from and the record the hours land on.
- The client writes the request; you price it on the same record.
- Every change on a project sits on one board, not in five threads.
- The change order prints the effort and fee you actually agreed.
- Hours logged against the change carry through to the invoice.
