Scope management is particularly very important in a fixed scope project. Scope should be agreed and approved in the early stages of the project. 1. Obtain sign off on the SOW document 2. Align expectations with all stakeholders 3. You should always align with your BA any contractual and verbal agreements with the client regarding scope or requirements. 4. Any out of scope requirements should go through the formal change request process. 5. Any changes to an approved and signed SRS document should also be treated as a change request, even if it is within the project scope. 6. Make sure your team reviews SRS documents thoroughly before sending them for client sign off. Internal changes during implementation can be costly!

Address the scope creep by identifying the critical changes and assessing their impact on project timelines and resources. Prioritize the most urgent adjustments and negotiate realistic timelines with stakeholders. Reinforce boundaries on deliverables, ensuring clarity on what can be achieved within the new scope to maintain project quality.

- First, clearly define the project scope with all stakeholders involved. 📋 - Communicate openly about how changes impact the timeline and resources needed. ⏱️ - Prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance to manage shifting demands. 📊 - Use a change request process to evaluate and approve new requests formally. ✔️ - Keep a flexible mindset and adapt the project plan as needed. 🔄 - Regularly update all team members on changes to ensure everyone is aligned. 📢 - Encourage feedback from the team to identify potential risks and solutions. 🤝

Para lidar com o aumento do escopo e mudanças nos cronogramas, acho fundamental adotar uma abordagem flexível, mas estruturada. Primeiro, é importante reavaliar as prioridades com base nas novas demandas e negociar ajustes no cronograma, se possível. Em seguida, focaria em uma comunicação transparente com a equipe e as partes interessadas, alinhando expectativas realistas. Também acredito que dividir o trabalho em etapas menores e revisar frequentemente o progresso permite identificar e mitigar riscos antes que eles se tornem grandes problemas.

Risk Management: Proactively identify and manage risks. Develop contingency plans to address potential obstacles and unexpected changes. Having a backup plan can minimize the impact of changes on the project.
