SUMMARY:Chapter: September 2016 - Don’t Gold Plate That Project: Scope Ma
 nagement and the Dangers of Scope Creep
DESCRIPTION:Abstract
 Successful scope management is one of the key proces
 ses required for positive project outcomes.  Effectively maintaining a pr
 oject’s scope helps ensures that all the work required\, and only the wo
 rk required\, is completed to the satisfaction of both the team and the re
 questing client or organization. Agreeing on a clearly defined scope befor
 e project planning is completed (and before the execution of the project b
 egins) with key stakeholders is essential foundation for project success. 
 In addition\, validating the scope of deliverables and buy in will secure 
 the support needed to move ahead as each project piece is completed.
 One
  of the most insidious of project management issues is that of scope creep
 . Scope creep is a situation where uncontrolled changes or continuous grow
 th of the project's scope occur without adjustments to time\, budget\, or 
 resources. Without proper management and foresight\, scope creep can be th
 e beginnings of a failed project.
 In this presentation the speakers will
  review important scope management concepts\, identify tools and technique
 s to avoid scope creep\, address a number of scope management pitfalls inc
 luding gold plating\, and discuss scope management best practices.
