& Effective Communication Channels• Web Portal • Meeting Management Tool• Audiovisual Systems• Web Lecture Archival• Mailing list• Scientific Notes Workflows• Collaborative documentation tool
Management Tools are “indispensable” to permit engineering communication throughout the project which shall :• Implement common language and common rules (Quality Assurance Plan)• insure coherence, data control and integrityIn particular we have to ensure that all further technical changes are controlled with the appropriated mechanisms. The process must be defined in consistent way for reviewing, approving, implementing and reporting technical
The Engineering Change Request (ECR) is required if the proposed change will :• Have an impact upon ATLAS detector overall performance• interfere with other systems• result in significant cost and/or schedule changes• has an impact on safety.

ECR Process
Creation phase
Approval phase
Notification phase
Evaluation phase
1- ECR is created via a Document Management system (name, deadline, description of changes,..)
2- Data entered are stored in a database entry
3- E-Mail is sent automatically to the PL in charge of the affected item
4- PL examines the proposed change / accept or reject the proposal
5- The ECR is considered to be valid : Proposed changes are reviewed and consolidated
6- E-Mail is sent to all involved individuals
7- The ECR is extended with the list of activities which has to be proceeded
8- For internal change the ECR is approved at the System Level / for external change - at the Co-ordination Level
9- The Approval Group concludes with giving its opinion approving or rejecting the order
10- After approval the completed ECR is used as an ECD to inform all individuals in charge about the change implementation
