Scope Control Basics (Protecting the Deal)

Scope Control Basics (Protecting the Deal)

Purpose of This Lesson

To prevent value erosion through small changes.

How Scope Creep Begins

Scope creep often starts with:

• “Can you just add…”
• “This should be simple…”
• “It’s a small adjustment…”

Small changes accumulate into big value loss.

Professional Scope Control Language

Examples:

• “Let’s confirm how this fits into the agreed scope.”
• “We can include that as an optional extension.”

Never say:

“Sure, no problem.”
