The team is rushing inspection to meet handover. What should happen?
Schedule pressure on verificationPreserve required verification and make the schedule consequence visible. Decide whether to delay, reduce nonessential scope, or change sequencing without pretending unverified work is accepted.
What to do now
- Identify mandatory inspection requirements
- Assess unfinished verification work
- Present safe delivery options
- Obtain the appropriate readiness decision
When to escalate
Escalate when
Continuing could violate safety or required technical acceptance.
Who decides
The acceptance authority and relevant quality owner
Example
A handover date moves because required tests remain open, while completed portions are transferred only where allowed.
Mistake to avoid
Signing inspection records for work that was not inspected.
Prevent a repeat
Check that closure evidence proves the agreed outcome instead of relying only on a completion percentage.
Suggested ApprovedFlow setup
