Scope Change Log Template
Use with Keep a Scope Change Log - Not AI Delivery Promises.
What this is not
Not a contract. Not legal advice. Not a place for AI to invent free extras or new deadlines.
Log
| Date | Client request (their words) | Deliverable impact | Timeline impact | Fee impact (my call) | Decision (accept / decline / defer) | Client confirmation ref |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Format-only prompt (optional)
Format this scope-change note for email. Keep all numbers, dates,
and decisions exactly as written. Do not add goodwill freebies,
accelerated timelines, or extra deliverables.

Rules
- Capture request before drafting a reply
- Decide impact offline
- Fee or timeline changes need written acceptance
