While working on [[telecom-takeoff]] for [[303-mariposa-residence]]
|
|
[[jared-defanti]] used (2) Cat5e + (1) RG6 assemblies for most outlets.
|
|
We determined that (3) Cat5e assemblies would likely be required instead.
|
|
Because the required assemblies do not exist,
|
|
and the takeoff would have to be deleted
|
|
and replaced with [[heating-designations]],
|
|
I suggested leaving the existing work alone,
|
|
citing that the limited information
|
|
makes likely our superiors will have a different interpretation than us.
|
|
**If we changed the takeoff now**
|
|
**then we would have to change it again.**
|
|
|
|
> Ultimately we did change the takeoff
|
|
> because there were less than a dozen outlets in the project.

|
This is a good example of a scope question
|
|
which I believe should be saved for review,
|
|
not raised with the senior.
|
|
|
|
1. The maximum project cost impact of the decision is low
|
|
(final cost is not especially [[sensitivity|sensitive]] to it),
|
|
being only the difference between RG6 and Cat5e.
|
|
|
|
2. The result of the decision will not affect our future takeoff.
|
|
|
|
3. We would waste more of the senior's time
|
|
in the overhead of explaining the project and the issue early,
|
|
than if it has to be fixed during the allotted time they prepared for.
