1 Scope creep

Scope creep is the risk of adding or changing requirements that were not originally agreed upon or planned for. This can happen due to unclear or changing stakeholder expectations, poor communication, or inadequate change control. Scope creep can affect the quality, cost, schedule, and performance of your project, product, or system, as well as increase the complexity and uncertainty of your change impact analysis. To prevent scope creep, you need to define and document the scope of your project, product, or system clearly and consistently, and establish a formal change management process that involves all relevant stakeholders.

In my experience, scope creep has to be very tightly governed typically by a steering committee or governance team. While it might sound bureaucratic it is an essential aspect of a successful project since every ship will need an anchor and this governing body can be the safe harbor/anchor for the overall effort by limiting scope to original statement of work and most importantly relive project team of any additional burden allowing them to focus on maximized productivity. Again, there might be instances where scope creep is inevitable and even in such cases, this body can help steer the course to allow smooth sail.

2 Incomplete analysis

Incomplete analysis is the risk of missing or overlooking some aspects or impacts of a change that are relevant for your project, product, or system. This can happen due to lack of information, data, or expertise, insufficient time or resources, or biased or inaccurate assumptions. Incomplete analysis can lead to unexpected problems, errors, or defects, as well as missed opportunities or benefits. To avoid incomplete analysis, you need to gather and verify all the necessary information, data, and expertise for your change impact analysis, and use appropriate methods and tools to analyze them comprehensively and objectively.

Incomplete analysis can always come back to bite any data decision or direction. It is imperative that there are peer reviews done on any project analysis to minimize any such situation.

3 Resistance to change

Resistance to change is the risk of facing opposition or reluctance from stakeholders who are affected by or involved in a change. This can happen due to fear of losing control, status, or comfort, lack of trust or understanding, or conflicting interests or values. Resistance to change can hinder the adoption and implementation of your change, as well as reduce the satisfaction and engagement of your stakeholders. To overcome resistance to change, you need to communicate the purpose, benefits, and impacts of your change clearly and frequently, and involve and empower your stakeholders in the change process.

As humans, we are averse to change and view it as a potential threat to our assigned responsibilities and ownership. Hence, as a change agent or lead it will be necessary to focus on relationship building and stakeholder management as primary cogs for the wheel of change.

4 Unintended consequences

Unintended consequences are the risk of encountering outcomes or effects that are different from or opposite to what you expected or intended. This can happen due to complex or dynamic interactions, feedback loops, or side effects that are difficult to predict or control. Unintended consequences can affect the quality, value, or functionality of your project, product, or system, as well as cause harm or damage to other aspects or stakeholders. To minimize unintended consequences, you need to test and monitor your change impact analysis and implementation regularly and rigorously, and be ready to adapt and respond to any changes or issues that arise.

5 Change fatigue

Change fatigue is the risk of experiencing exhaustion, stress, or burnout from dealing with too many or too frequent changes. This can happen due to high demands, expectations, or pressures, low support, resources, or rewards, or lack of alignment, direction, or purpose. Change fatigue can affect the motivation, performance, and well-being of your stakeholders, as well as the quality and effectiveness of your change impact analysis and implementation. To prevent change fatigue, you need to prioritize and sequence your changes strategically and realistically, and provide adequate support, resources, and rewards to your stakeholders.
