What role do "Change Events" play in Procore?

Change Events in Procore serve a crucial purpose in tracking and documenting potential changes to a project before formal change orders are created. This functionality allows project teams to identify issues that may affect the original scope, schedule, or cost early in the process. By capturing this information as a Change Event, teams can better assess and communicate the implications of these potential changes, enabling informed decision-making and fostering transparency among stakeholders.

This proactive approach to managing changes helps mitigate risks and ensures that everyone involved is prepared for possible adjustments to the project, rather than waiting for formal change orders, which can sometimes lead to delays or miscommunication. Through this mechanism, Procore facilitates a structured and organized way to handle changes, which is essential in maintaining project integrity and alignment with overall goals.
