Pretty much every project manager has encountered a project where the scope got out of hand and caused the project manager to have one of those difficult discussions with the customer or senior manager.

Ouch!

Once scope has creeped, there is little or nothing you can do to get the budget back in line. And if you spend a lot of time trying to gain control again, you usually spend more time and money adding to the already over budget project.

Scope creep can happen so easily.

All it takes is one person to be “nice” and agree to something that wasn’t initially promised, or somebody making a mistake that delivered something that wasn’t required or necessary. Now you’ve set a precedence on the project.

In This session  PROJECTinsight will look at the Work Breakdown Structure, or WBS and the WBS dictionary.

They will discuss its importance to managing scope and strategies to use this tool to gain an understanding of the project scope.
