Scope Creep in Project Management & How You Can Help Manage It with Scope Statements | The ProWorkflow Blog
Summary
Scope creep usually starts out small, an extra element added here, a requirement change there. A scope statement is a very clear outlay of what work is included in the original quotes cost and timeframe, leaving no room for ambiguity by any party. If you do agree to include the change in the original scope, be sure to document your reasons in detail so it is clearly understood by all concerned why it was allowed. Detail out how each project addition or change will impact the original agreements timeframe and cost – the client may then consider if they are willing to meet those requirements. By detailing out your scope statement the client will understand in advance, or can be easily shown that it is ‘outside scope’ and should not be surprised when budget or timeframe changes arise.
