Scope and exclusions

Answer:

About the application of clause 8.3 to “Sourcing and placing suitable candidates (Permanent & Freelance) for the construction industry”, I would consider its exclusion once you already have your product defined and as long as you don’t need to change it. Your clients provide your organization with the service characteristics, the specifications, needed for you to plan the service provision processes. I don’t believe you need to change your scope.
