pain points and desired improvements.

During the renovation, ABC Corp. requests additional features such as a dedicated fitness center

1. Change Control Process: Implement a formal process to evaluate and approve changes. This
includes documenting the requested changes, assessing their impact on the project timeline,
budget, and resources, and obtaining approval from key stakeholders before proceeding.
2. Communicate Clearly: Keep all stakeholders informed about the implications of the requested
changes. Clearly communicate how these changes will affect the project's schedule and costs.
3. Prioritize Requests: Work with the client to prioritize changes. If additional features are critical,
negotiate other scope reductions or additional budget and time.
4. Update Documentation: Ensure all changes are documented and the project plan is updated
accordingly. This includes revising the scope of work, project schedule, and budget.
5. Monitor and Control: Continuously monitor the project for any further changes or impacts of the
approved changes. Ensure the project remains on track and within the new scope, budget, and
timeline.
By implementing these strategies, the project manager can manage scope creep effectively,
ensuring that the project delivers its intended outcomes without unnecessary delays or cost
overruns.
