Transparent Communication: Reach out to the client right away, explaining how the new requests will impact the timeline and budget. Revise the Project Plan: Update your plan to reflect revised milestones and delivery dates. Empower Team Autonomy: Give your team the authority to make quick, informed decisions on lower-impact changes without waiting for approvals, which keeps progress on track. Set Boundaries: If the scope continually shifts, remind clients of the importance of staying aligned with the original objectives to ensure quality and maintain deadlines.

Podemos quebrar o problema em três parametros: - Escopo - Or?amento - Qualidade Cada parametro é uma aresta de triangulo com área fixa, podemos alterar o comprimento de qualquer uma das arestas, mas a área do triangulo será sempre a mesma, a menos que o prazo seja modificado. Assim, temos uma metodologia didática para ilustrar para o cliente o impacto das modifica??es de última hora no projeto. Ao alterar o escopo, podemos escolher se vamos impactar o or?amento ou a qualidade e se nenhum dos dois puder ser alterado, a única alternativa que sobra é mexer no prazo.
