Scope of Work / Change Order Template

Projects change. A client asks for an extra round of revisions, a second manuscript gets added, or a deadline needs to shift. This simple form documents those changes properly, so “just one more thing” gets captured, priced and approved, instead of silently eating into your time and profit.

Designed to be used alongside an existing Service Agreement or Independent Contractor Agreement, this short-form document references your original agreement rather than repeating it, keeping the paperwork quick and painless.

What’s included:

• A one-page, ready-to-use Change Order covering the change requested, reason for the change, impact on fees, and impact on timeline
• Step-by-step “How to Use This Agreement” instructions, so you know exactly what to fill in
• A reference section linking the change back to your original agreement
• Approval signature lines for both parties, so changes are agreed in writing before extra work begins

Best for: Any project where scope shifts partway through extra revisions, added deliverables, or a change in delivery date without needing to draft a brand-new agreement.
