Dynamic work strategies are the product of systematic planning. Dynamic work strategies are strategies that allow work activities to change or adapt in real-time to new information that becomes available during the course of the activity. Dynamic work strategies require a source of timely information to be effective, which is why real-time measurement technologies are important for the Triad. Dynamic work strategies are usually embodied by "if-then" statements that provide guidance on how work should proceed based on information gathered, and that are captured in appropriate project documentation such as a sampling and analysis plan, quality assurance project plan, or similar planning documents.

Dynamic work strategies have wide application in the hazardous waste site characterization and remediation process. They can be the basis of sampling and analysis plans that are implemented as adaptive sampling and analysis programs. They can be built into overall quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) efforts, leading to focused QA/QC programs. They can be incorporated into remediation designs, enabling precision excavation techniques for contaminated soils and sediments. They can also be important components of long-term monitoring programs.
