Episode 22: Scope Change vs. Scope Creep: How to Manage Both
In this episode, we distinguish between legitimate scope change and uncontrolled scope creep. We define scope change as a formally approved adjustment to project deliverables, while scope creep occurs when unauthorized or unplanned work expands the project boundaries. Both concepts are tested on the PK0-005 exam, and understanding their differences is essential for effective project control.
We’ll explore strategies for preventing scope creep, including rigorous requirements management, stakeholder alignment, and disciplined change control. Examples show how improper handling of small, incremental additions can derail schedules and budgets. You’ll also hear how approved scope changes are managed through documentation, communication, and integration into the baseline plan.
