EPISODE 202

Scope creep occurs when clients request additional tasks that fall outside the agreed-upon project scope, potentially leading to overwork and uncompensated efforts.

Clients may unknowingly contribute to scope creep by making requests outside the original project scope. For instance, they may ask for additional services such as creating quote graphics, pitching them as podcast guests, or demanding urgent attention without proper acknowledgment of the agreed-upon scope of work.

Today I’m sharing practical strategies on how to handle scope creep while maintaining healthy client relationships.

In this episode, we cover:

-Reasons why scope creep is common among freelancers

-Emphasis on the importance of setting boundaries and maintaining them

-How to balance being nice and setting boundaries

-Identifying and addressing client requests that may lead to scope creep

-Tracking hours and evaluating service value to determine package adjustments

-Exploring the gray area between scope creep and added value for clients
