Who should own requirement decisions across calculation, tender, design, and site teams?
Requirement decisions need a named owner at each stage, while the original source and decision trail remain shared. Ownership should follow the decision being made, not simply the team that first found the requirement.
Give every decision an owner
Calculation owns pricing assumptions, commercial roles own reservations, and technical roles own solution interpretation.
Cross-functional questions need one accountable decision maker and recorded contributors.
Keep shared visibility
Teams need one current view of requirement status and source material.
Shared visibility prevents handover from becoming a transfer of undocumented assumptions.
Escalate early
Define when uncertainty must be escalated to the client, project lead, or commercial authority.
A visible escalation route is safer than informal agreement.
