🤔 How Do You Handle Scope Creep Without Losing Your Sanity? You’re deep into a project, and everything seems to be on track until a stakeholder says, “Can we just add this one little thing?” Then another request follows. And another. Before you know it: ⚠️ Timelines are blown. ⚠️ Budgets spiral out of control. ⚠️ The team feels overwhelmed. As project managers, we know scope creep is inevitable. But here’s the good news: how you handle it can make all the difference. 👉 Here’s my approach to keeping scope creep in check: 🔸 Set clear boundaries from the start. A well-defined scope document is your best friend. 🔸 Have a strong change management process. Every request should be documented, reviewed, and approved before it’s added. 🔸 Communicate the impact. Help stakeholders understand how changes affect the timeline, budget, and deliverables. 🔸 Say “not right now” when necessary. It’s okay to prioritize and delay requests that don’t align with the current project goals. When managed well, scope changes don’t have to derail your project, they can add value.

Ever felt like your project is spiralling out of control? Scope creep is a common challenge we face in project management. It happens when project requirements increase without corresponding adjustments to time, budget, or resources. The first step to overcoming scope creep is clear and precise project scoping. Everyone involved needs to understand what the project entails from the get-go. Regular communication with stakeholders keeps everyone aligned and helps manage expectations. We should always have a formal change management process in place. This allows us to assess the impact of any new requests and make informed decisions. Also, documenting all changes ensures transparency and accountability. Using project management tools can also help track progress and flag potential scope issues early. Being proactive and vigilant goes a long way in keeping scope creep at bay. How do you tackle scope creep?

A question on many executives and managers minds may be “how can we improve without spending so much?”     Too often project management is victim to the old ways of doing: one service and one (high) price contract. This way of doing creates missed opportunities for everyone.     Project managers do not need to be available at all working hours.     Virtual project management providers like us, offer companies personalised solutions that help them take advantage of project management expertise without the overhead costs and long-term commitment of setting up and running an in-house PMO.    Book a call with James Drummond-Davies to see what your PMO needs are and let us find a way to help you.     Link in comments to schedule a call.
