When People Change, Your Scope Shouldn’t
Projects rarely happen in a vacuum. People join, people move on, and priorities shift. In manufacturing, that means every change in staff - a new manager, engineer, or technician - risks disrupting the project scope. Details get lost in inboxes, undocumented decisions fade, and suddenly, no one’s quite sure why a parameter was set the way it was.
Why Scope Drift Happens
Scope drift isn’t usually intentional - it’s a symptom of fragmented communication and disconnected systems.
Information lives in silos: Spreadsheets, emails, and local files don’t transfer neatly to the next person.
Tribal knowledge walks out the door: Without shared context, new team members guess or start fresh.
Change tracking is manual: Version history and decision reasoning are often undocumented.
The result? Delays, rework, and costly misalignments between design intent and production reality.
The Case for Digital Continuity
When your process data lives in a connected, contextual system, your scope becomes part of the workflow - not dependent on who’s in the room.
Authentise Flows captures:
Every process step, document, and decision, automatically linked to the job.
Live context, so new team members can see the why behind each parameter, not just the what.
Version-controlled changes, making it easy to trace how the scope evolved over time.
That means when someone new joins the team, they don’t start from scratch - they pick up the thread.
Real-World Example
Imagine a part moving through qualification. Midway through, a project manager changes. In most systems, the new manager would have to dig through emails and local notes to find out:
Why did we switch powder suppliers?
What tolerance adjustments were approved and when?
Which build data is relevant to this phase?
With Authentise Flows, all of that context is right there - in one digital thread. Every file, decision, and parameter change is timestamped, attributed, and accessible.
People Change. Your Scope Doesn’t Have To.
Turnover is inevitable - disruption isn’t. Authentise Flows gives your organisation a single source of truth for every workflow, so that project scopes remain stable, auditable, and transparent across personnel changes.
Because when your systems hold the knowledge, not just your people, your projects stay on track - no matter who’s at the helm.
Discover how Authentise Flows keeps your projects consistent and compliant - even when your team changes.
