Shifting priorities, new stakeholders, unexpected disruptions \u2014 it\u2019s almost inevitable that something will come along to knock your well-intentioned project off course.\r\n\r\nProblems with scope creep arise when vendors aren\u2019t prepared for how those changes will be handled.\r\n\r\n\u201cIf you keep adding and adding, you are going to be out of margin, over budget and really frustrated,\u201d says Cheryl Jackson, director of organizational design and change management at\u00a0GP Strategies<\/a>.\r\n\r\nVendors can do a lot to minimize the impact of scope creep before a project even begins \u2014 by having smart conversations to assess client readiness<\/a>, define expectations and align on what success looks like.\r\n\r\nBut when scope creep shows up mid-project, a vendor\u2019s ability to adapt becomes a real advantage.\r\n\r\nHere are six ways learning vendors can manage change in a way that keeps projects on track, protects your team\u2019s time and preserves the partnership.\r\n

1. Set the Tone Early: You\u2019re a Partner, Not a \u201cYes Machine\u201d<\/h2>\r\nThe first 30 days are a critical timeframe when working with clients, says Blake Proberts, CEO and founder of\u00a0Acorn<\/a>. \u201cDuring this window, this is when they are going to tell you all of their problems, and if you are willing to listen, you are going to get so much information for you to be able to supply value to them,\u201d he says.\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s also a critical moment for boundary setting, notes Jackson.\r\n\r\n\u201cEarly on, I was such a client pleaser \u2014 I just wanted to say yes to everything,\u201d Jackson says. \u201cBut that\u2019s not what they are hiring us for. They are hiring us for our partnership in understanding their unique business needs, their place in the industry, their challenges and goals. We take the time to design and deliver a solution custom fit for them.\u201d\r\n\r\nWhen clients have new requests mid-project, resist the instinct to immediately say yes, says Jackson. They are not hiring you to execute requests \u2014 they\u2019re hiring you to guide decisions as a consultative partner. That might mean pausing a request, asking clarifying questions or reframing the problem before agreeing to next steps.\r\n

2. Treat Scope Creep as a Signal, Not Just a Problem to Shut Down<\/h2>\r\nEven with this shift in mindset, constant, out-of-scope requests from clients are a common source of frustration for vendors. Before reacting, take a step back and try to understand the root cause behind all the requests. It might be you problem, not them problem.\r\n\r\n\u201cIt can be incredibly frustrating to see scope creep,\u201d says Jackson. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to say, \u2018Oh, they\u2019re being unreasonable; I can\u2019t believe they are asking for more,\u2019 or \u2018They are just pushing us to see how much they can get out of us.\u2019 But in reality, scope creep is often a sign that there was a lack of readiness on the front end.\u201d\r\n\r\nIn many cases, the needs weren\u2019t fully surfaced early \u2014 so they show up later as the project unfolds.\r\n\r\nScope creep may also signal that things are changing in the industry, impacting your client and the solutions you initially scoped.\r\n\r\n\u201cWhen you are in that strategic partner role, you are helping your clients see the bigger picture of what\u2019s going on in the industry and helping them adapt to it,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen their needs evolve, we want to encourage their thinking to evolve, too. That\u2019s not a negative as long as you are prepared for it.\u201d\r\n

3. Close Communication Gaps, Especially in Complex Projects<\/h2>\r\nThe more layers between vendors and the client, the greater the risk for scope creep, notes Proberts.\r\n\r\nYou may be one vendor in a large-scale project with multiple tech stacks and cross-functional teams. In environments like this, messages can get a little distorted, says Proberts. Think of it like a game of telephone.\r\n\r\n\u201cYou may do a fine job of communicating needs and risks up front, but if the right people aren\u2019t in the room, those messages may not get relayed the same way to the end customer,\u201d says Proberts. \u201cAnd vice versa, their priorities and requirements may not be communicated effectively to you.\u201d\r\n\r\nDon\u2019t risk communication gaps for the sake of speed at any point in the project. \u201cTake the time to really listen \u2014 don\u2019t rush that process,\u201d says Proberts. \u201cIf you know that data or identity management or system support are sticking points for similar implementations, get the people who will be responsible for those issues into conversations as early as possible.\u201d\r\n\r\n\u201cSpeed is great, and no one wants to spend months and months implementing a system. But if you aren\u2019t clear about the end goal, and you don\u2019t have the right people in the room, it\u2019ll just slow you down later on,\u201d says Proberts.\r\n\r\nIf those conversations didn\u2019t happen early, they need to happen now.\r\n

4. Reset the Conversation When New Stakeholders Enter Late<\/h2>\r\nOne of the most common places scope creep happens is when new people come onto the scene mid-way through a project, says Michelle Pletch, vice president of strategic solution development at\u00a0ELB Learning<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\u201cYou\u2019re following a process, milestones are being hit, and then a new stakeholder or a new reviewer shows up. Suddenly they are giving lots of feedback and asking to change things that had already been not only approved but acted upon,\u201d she says.\r\n\r\nThis is a moment to pause and reset. Go back to the initial scoping conversations and review what was agreed upon and what\u2019s already been done, says Pletch.\r\n\r\n\u201cIf you have asked the right questions at the front and have documented the process and expectations and the roles that everyone is going to play, you're in a much better place,\u201d says Pletch.\r\n\r\nNew stakeholders were not part of initial conversations \u2014 when your \u201cwhy\u201d and \u201chow\u201d were taking shape. It\u2019s worth it to pause and bring them up to speed on the vision and the steps you\u2019ve already taken to get there.\r\n

5. Stop Scope Creep by Making Work Visible<\/h2>\r\nMake the work and the effort required to deliver it visible at every stage of the project.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe like to say that our sales team are promise makers and the delivery team are promise keepers,\u201d says Proberts. \u201cEven though there is a hand over of tasks, we are one team, and it\u2019s really important for our clients to see how we work \u2014 who is diagnosing a problem, who is putting solutions in place and, if issues do arise mid-implementation, how we work together to surface those and get back on track.\u201d\r\n\r\nYou should have that same level of transparency about the team on their side, says Jackson, because scope creep can happen when work shifts from their team to yours.\r\n\r\n\u201cOftentimes, they bring a team of people to the initial meetings, and you think that\u2019s the team that will support you on their end. But then it turns out that those people aren\u2019t dedicated. In the middle of your project, they get pulled into something else, and now your team is taking on more of the work,\u201d she says.\r\n\r\nDocument everything up front, says Pletch, including expectations for how long clients will take to review work during each step of the process. \u201cIf you build in 10 days for client reviews, but they are taking a month to send you feedback, the timeline is going to get pushed out.\u201d\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s important that all parties are clear on the details, with the expectation that any changes will trigger a scoping conversation.\r\n

6. Turn Every New Request Into a Tradeoff Conversation<\/h2>\r\nRather than responding to every new request as it comes in, plan for milestone check-ins at regular intervals throughout the project. This is your opportunity to review how the project is stacking up to anticipated deliverables and the expectations you set up at the beginning of the client engagement.\r\n\r\nThis is key, especially when there are new faces coming in and out of the project, says Jackson.\r\n\r\n\u201cAs stakeholders change, it\u2019s important to know that they probably didn\u2019t read the initial scope of work,\u201d she points out. \u201cIf they don\u2019t know what\u2019s in the plan, they will certainly ask for things we didn\u2019t scope for.\u201d\r\n\r\nSo when the requests do come in, the conversation isn\u2019t yes or no \u2014 it\u2019s what that request will impact, says Jackson. \u201cWill it be additional cost? Additional time? What else will need to get pushed to make it happen? Then let them make that decision with all of the tradeoffs in mind.\u201d\r\n

Make Every Decision Visible<\/h2>\r\nScope creep is often the result of unspoken decisions. Left unaddressed, small requests accumulate, priorities shift and the work drifts further from what was originally planned.\r\n\r\nThe vendors who manage this well are the ones that pause, clarify and guide decisions so both sides understand the tradeoffs.\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s what keeps projects on track and partnerships intact.","full_width":false,"content_band":[{"acf_fc_layout":"social_callout","blockquote":"Scope creep is not something to shut down immediately, it is often a signal that alignment, communication or expectations were not fully defined from the start."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_area","wysiwyg":"If your company provides training services, our Top 20 Companies lists can help increase visibility with L&D buyers.
