Scope creep is every project manager’s nightmare — and on the exam, it’s a favorite trap. In this episode, we’ll explore how to define requirements, break down work into manageable pieces, and keep the scope under control without strangling innovation. You’ll learn how PMI expects you to recognize red flags early and respond in a way that preserves both value and discipline.

Exam questions often disguise scope problems as stakeholder requests or “quick fixes.” We’ll show you how to spot those setups and choose the PMI-aligned answer that balances flexibility with control. If you’ve ever been pressured to “just add this one little thing,” this episode will resonate. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
