To manage scope changes effectively, first, use contingency planning by setting aside time and budget for unforeseen changes, making sure to communicate how this reserve will be used. Then, implement a scope freeze as the project progresses, ensuring the client understands that further changes will impact deadlines and costs. Lastly, regularly revisit the project scope during check-ins to align on goals and address any deviations early, maintaining transparency about trade-offs. These steps help control scope creep while keeping the client informed and the project on track.
