To keep your project on track, start by reviewing existing documentation to set a clear baseline and carefully categorize upcoming requests as in-scope or out-of-scope. Proactively collaborate with client stakeholders to prioritize, communicate, and document everything before raising change requests.

Focus on the objectives, scope and resources. If the scope needs to be changed, gather the rational from the stakeholders and project team, estimate the impact and risks related to the scope change, inform the sponsor, and get the client/sponsor approval for the change. If the change is not approved, clearly identify tasks/activities out of scope, and inform accordingly the client that these activities are not going to be completed within the original scope. Another option is to negotiate a resource increase with the sponsor to make sure the scope creep is solved. All changes must be documented and agreed with the sponsor/client.

Un planning bien ficelé et si tenir ! 😉 --> Maîtriser le sujet du projet --> Connaître les délais de mise à disposition des fournitures --> Communiquer efficacement avec les différents "acteurs" --> Préparer soigneusement son intervention --> Prévoir le temps pour la mise en place, le repli et le nettoyage du chantier --> Prévoir une marge pour les imprévus

Define upfront with clarity the deliverables and boundaries of the project to set the expectations. Maintain communication with stakeholders for priority alignment and to avoid last-minute changes. Track milestones to monitor progress and detect deviations early. Implement a process for change control for evaluation and approval of modifications or expansions to the original project scope without affecting schedule.

To prevent scope creep in a tight-deadline project, set clear requirements from the start and ensure all stakeholders are aligned. Regularly communicate progress and any change requests should go through a strict approval process. Stick to the original scope unless absolutely necessary, and if changes are needed, adjust timelines or resources accordingly to maintain balance.

Se o projeto está sofrendo constantes mudanças no escopo, levante evidências dos impactos que as constantes mudanças estão gerando ao projeto e apresente as partes interessadas, provocando a discussão e alinhamento sobre os riscos e os planos de ação para mitigar estes riscos. Ajude o grupo a definir melhor o escopo do que será entregue, elencando prioridades e resultado ao negócio.

To prevent scope creep in a project with tight deadlines, start by clearly defining the project scope and objectives at the outset. Ensure all stakeholders are aligned on the deliverables and deadlines. Regularly communicate progress and any potential risks, so everyone is on the same page. Implement a strict change management process—any changes should be assessed for their impact on time, resources, and budget before approval. Set realistic milestones and monitor them closely. By staying disciplined, managing expectations, and maintaining clear communication, you can prevent scope creep and stay on track.

Prevent scope creep by defining a clear scope, using a formal change control process, and maintaining regular stakeholder communication. Set firm boundaries, track progress with project management tools, and address risks proactively. Prioritize necessary changes based on impact and feasibility to ensure timely project delivery within defined constraints.

1. Define y comunica claramente el alcance desde el inicio Antes de arrancar, asegúrate de que todos los involucrados entiendan exactamente qué está dentro y qué queda fuera del proyecto. Por ejemplo un Product Backlog bien priorizado. 2. Implementa un proceso formal para gestionar cambios 3. Refuerza la comunicación con los stakeholders 4. Prioriza y usa metodologías ágiles si es posible 5. Capacita al equipo para reconocer y gestionar el alcance 6. Usa herramientas de gestión de proyectos 7. Mantén una visión pragmática y flexible A veces, el cambio es inevitable. Si un ajuste en el alcance realmente agrega valor, quizás valga la pena hacerlo, pero siempre considerando su impacto.

En mi experiencia establecer claramente los entregables y plazos desde el inicio es clave. Documentar cualquier cambio solicitado y evaluar su impacto en los plazos y recursos antes de aceptarlos. Además, involucrar a todas las partes interesadas en cada decisión importante ayuda a mantener el proyecto en una buena dirección.
