How to Manage Scope Creep (in 6 Steps)
Want to know how to manage and prevent scope creep in project management? This brief video offers a crash course in managing project scope, including a step-by-step guide, in under two minutes.
Scope creep can occur when stakeholders change the requirements of a project, adding additional deliverables or features that weren’t in the original project plan. This can lead to project obstacles, including delays or overruns. Sometimes change is inevitable, but these changes should be dealt with appropriately in a controlled environment to avoid undesirable outcomes.
Here are the essential six steps to avoid scope creep in your next project as a PM:
Track the project status and baseline scope
Assess how the project compares to the original plan
Analyze the project changes
Decide if further action is required regarding changes
Implement a change request process
Communicate changes to stakeholders
