We understand that flexibility is important when completing projects. Unforeseen circumstances or changes in priorities may require adjusting project details. With change requests, team members and employers can request changes to their projects directly through the platform. Change requests are available on active, inactive, and incomplete teams. They are not available for completed, void, or cancelled teams.
Main benefits of the date change request feature:
Allows for more flexible project timelines, hours, and scope.
Streamlines the process by notifying users when a request is made and automatically updating details once it’s accepted.
Facilitates better communication and coordination with a transparent, organized system for managing changes.
Please note that you may only request a date change if the dates were set by your team.

FAQs
What can be changed?
With change requests, you can ask to adjust three key aspects of your project:
Dates – extend or shorten the project/team timeline.
Hours – increase or decrease the maximum number of project hours (within the allowed range set by the experience administrators).
Content / Scope – add a project addendum explaining why the scope has shifted (e.g., extended timeline, new tasks, expanded requirements, or an additional project).
What if the dates are set by the project admins?
If your project dates are set by the employer and you’d like to request a change, please reach out to them first to discuss your concerns. The employer can then request a date change on their match with the experience. Learn more
