MANAGING SCOPE CREEP: EXPECT SURPRISES (Host Your Own Webinar Series)
Mon 18 Apr 01:30PM New York / Mon 18 Apr 05:30PM GMT / Tue 19 Apr 05:30AM Sydney
Lou Russell. People like to think of scope creep as a preventable disease, but it is really more like a chronic illness. It will happen and it needs to happen. While projects are going on, businesses and worlds change constantly, so project scope will change also. The problem is getting everyone to see that the project has changed so the proper adjustments to money, time and quality are decided intentionally, not by default. Learn great ways to manage this very real dynamic.
