The Project Management Podcast - Project Scope Management | Episode 314

https://www.pm-podcast.com/314. Incomplete or missed requirements, omissions, ambiguous product features, lack of user involvement, unrealistic customer expectations, and the proverbial scope creep can result in cost overruns, missed deadlines, poor product quality, and can very well ruin a project. The process of scope control in project management is typically how we address those challenges, and that's the topic of today's interview. That is why Jamal Moustafaev (http://ca.linkedin.com/in/jmoustafaev/en) wrote his new book on the topic of Project Scope Management. It is a Practical Guide to Requirements for pretty much any industry and describes how to elicit, document, and manage requirements to control project scope creep. It also explains how to manage project stakeholders to minimize the risk of an ever-growing list of user requirements. Scope is important because every single one of our projects is launched to deliver something. And that something is defined in our scope. So Jamal and I not only look at what the state of scope management overall is and how business analysis plays into this, but we end our interview (of course!) with project scope management tips and tricks for you. If you are struggling with project management scope creep, then you will be sure to pick up some handy ideas for getting your scope back under control. Enjoy the episode.
