Repainting several locations goes better with a pilot than with a simultaneous launch.

Key Takeaways

• Start with a pilot location.
• Standardize scope and colors.
• Allow for site differences.
• Report completion site by site.

Start with a pilot

A pilot shows what the scope is like to run and what needs adjusting.

• Pick one representative location
• Write the scope there
• Note what you would change

Standardize

A standard scope lists colors, finishes, areas and sign-off. Each site then adds its own exceptions.

• Colors and finishes
• Scope by area
• Sign-off checklist

Roll out

Roll out in a set order and track completion with a short report for each location.

• Schedule remaining sites in order
• Account for each site's hours
• Report completion site by site

A pilot site shows what the scope is really like to run. It highlights access issues, color questions and sign-off details that are easy to miss on paper.

Once the standard is set, apply it to other locations. Each site still has its own hours and conditions, so allow for differences.
