The Scope That Wouldn’t Stop Creeping…

Hi there,

Welcome new subscribers! 🎉 

October means it’s time for a creepy newsletter topic… Scope creep. Scary for so many reasons.

⚡ Supercharge of the Week

At the beginning of every project, your team outlines and agrees upon the scope of work – including key deliverables, schedules, and stakeholders. Your scope of work might be detailed in a project plan or a tool like Notion.

Scope creep sneaks into the picture once the project kicks off. 👻 Ever have a colleague request to add additional features or deliverables in the middle of your project without team consensus? That might be scope creep.

Scope creep is when additional work beyond the original project scope is either unauthorized, not mutually agreed upon by the project team, and/or does not address the impact on project timelines and resources. 💰

It causes everything from delayed work to wasted money to potentially undermining your project’s success. Scary for so many reasons! Don’t let scope creep take you down.
