Furniture, acoustics, technology and booking rules must support movement between these environments.<\/p>\n<h2>Why it matters<\/h2>\n<p>It can support different tasks and more effective use of space when capacity and user needs are planned rather than assumed.<\/p>\n<h2>Questions to ask<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>What decision or requirement does Activity-Based Working support?<\/li>\n<li>Which evidence or record is required?<\/li>\n<li>Who owns the information and keeps it current?<\/li>\n<li>How does it affect furniture selection, service or future change?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Applying the concept<\/h2>\n<p>When Activity-Based Working appears in a project brief, define the users, space, timing, owner and decision it affects.

The project team should state the scope, responsible owner, required evidence and point at which the information will be reviewed. This may be during specification, quotation, handover, service, relocation or end-of-use.<\/p>\n<p>Recording the definition in the project brief prevents different suppliers and internal teams from using the same term in different ways.
