Narrative:

Clearance issued an amended departure nugget 1 during pushback and engine start. Copilot monitored ground control and acknowledged. Captain was starting engines and monitoring push crew and had no knowledge of new clearance. Events and checklists followed -- communication between pilots of the new departure never transpired. As a result, captain flew original departure (valley 1) and did not make the heading change. This all could have been avoided if -- controller had clear view of aircraft under push, and could have waited a few mins until a less busy time. Change of departure could have been better timed. Visibility was very clear and safety was never compromised. Supplemental information from acn 215562: flight was issued a revised clearance by reno ground control during engine start. Writer attempted to quickly acknowledge rather than ask ground control to standby. Writer thought captain had heard the readback. He had not. Subsequently, writer was occupied by normal duties, checklist, closeout, etc and failed to review the revised clearance with the captain. As a result, we did not make the 16 degree heading change at 2.4 DME as per the nugget 1 departure. There was no conflict and safety was never compromised.
