Who is typically included in the final OSP walkthrough?

The final Outside Plant (OSP) walkthrough is an important phase in telecommunications projects, as it helps ensure that all aspects of the project have been completed to the required standards and client expectations. The client, being the end-user and the one who will ultimately benefit from the completed work, plays a crucial role in this process.

Their presence in the final walkthrough allows them to visually inspect the work, ask questions, and provide feedback on any area of concern. This step is essential for confirming that the deliverables fulfill the specifications laid out in the project documentation and to verify that the infrastructure meets their operational needs.

While project managers, designers, and inspectors can contribute valuable insights and confirm compliance with industry standards, it is the client's approval and satisfaction that ultimately validate the project’s success. Including the client in the final walkthrough fosters transparency and communication, which are vital components in maintaining strong client relationships and ensuring project alignment with expectations.
