  3. Look for a likely existing project

    Bring possible duplicate or similarly named projects to an owner to resolve before creating another record.

  4. Prepare a proposed project change

    Show the current information alongside the requested change so the responsible person can assess its effect.

  5. Approve financial or client-impacting changes

    Require an authorized owner to confirm changes to budgets, billable work, or client commitments before saving them.

    Record whether the information was confirmed, changed, or held for clarification.

The handoff
