What are the steps that we can take to avoid scope creep?

In our previous episode we talked about stories of scope creep, and in every single case, I had a comparable story to match. Scope creep rips away the good parts of being a service provider.

Today we are continuing our stories from Episode 161, where we shared that scope creep is caused by changes that come up after you have begun a project. There are some specific things you can do to prevent this, which I will share in our upcoming training. But today, there is one key action item that you can do to avoid scope creep: defining your values. 

If you are ready to escape the plague of scope creep, join us for a 5 day adventure. Learn how to avoid scope creep, communicate ahead of time, and also establish a key process for when scope creep emerges.
