Taming Scope Creep: A Project Manager's Common Foe

Ever feel like your project's scope keeps expanding beyond its initial definition? Scope creep is a real challenge for project managers, but there's a simple tip to combat it:

Hold Regular Scope Change Reviews:

Schedule regular meetings (weekly or bi-weekly) with stakeholders to discuss any proposed changes to the project scope. This allows for:

• Early identification of new requests: Addressing them before they snowball into major revisions.
• Transparent communication: Giving stakeholders a platform to voice their needs while maintaining project focus.
• Prioritization and trade-offs: Evaluating the impact of changes on budget, timeline, and overall project goals.

By proactively managing scope creep, you can deliver projects on time, within budget, and with clear expectations for all involved.
