Starting point
Capacity is missing for this task: Define BIM goals and information requirements
If this situation persists, it consumes capacity and makes decisions harder. The brief should therefore specify which workflow needs to change.
Intended value
Reviewed model and drawing baseline with change history
Define a real acceptance case before starting. A broad capability requirement becomes a task whose result your team can assess and use.
