ITPEC IP October 2024 — Question 54 of 100

At contract signing, the parties should agree in writing on deliverables and the rules for changing specifications. Clear contractual terms define expectations, responsibilities, acceptance, intellectual-property treatment, change control, and other conditions before work proceeds. Written change procedures help assess effects on scope, cost, schedule, and quality and prevent informal disputes.

Answer (d)

Why not others:
- (a) demanding work not covered by the contract after acceptance is not automatically justified and should follow contractual obligations or a new agreement

- (b) omitting intellectual-property provisions creates uncertainty about ownership and permitted use

- (c) scope, specifications, and work contents should be agreed before development starts, not afterward

Key rule: Procurement management establishes clear written commitments and a controlled process for later changes before contracted work begins.
