Scope Creep: Identifying and Reducing this HUGE Project Management Pitfall [Webinar]
BQE CORE & Engineering Management Institute PRESENT
Scope Creep: Identifying and Reducing this HUGE Project Management Pitfall
All AE consulting firms want their projects to be as profitable as possible; however, most will identify their biggest project management pitfall as: doing work outside of the scope (aka scope creep), which greatly reduces profits. Depending on the size of your firm, scope creep could cost you thousands, or even millions, of dollars annually.
While this is a common and debilitating challenge that MOST firms face, the reality is that by installing a few simple processes you can greatly reduce scope creep on your projects. These strategies should be learned and implemented by every project professional as early on as possible in their careers.
