In this episode, Jason challenges that mindset and explains why an RFI is rarely just a request for information; it's often rework, delay, batching, and pushing defects caused by incomplete communication and poor systems. He makes the case that if we truly cared about people, flow, and quality, we would design projects and communication channels to eliminate most RFIs before they ever happen.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why RFIs are often a sign of incomplete design and poor quality control.
- How long RFI turnaround times create disrespect, delay, and overburden in the field.
- Why the traditional RFI process is full of waste from start to finish.
- How better communication systems could reduce or replace many RFIs.
- Why the goal should be to eliminate the need for most RFIs in the first place.
If RFIs are mostly rework and waste, what would it take for your team to stop accepting them as normal?
