Scope creep is one of the most common reasons projects fail. Without clear boundaries, projects can spiral out of control, leading to budget overruns, missed deadlines, and stakeholder dissatisfaction. Effective scope management ensures that all project work is planned, defined, and controlled—keeping teams aligned and preventing costly changes.
This course provides a structured approach to managing project scope with real-world case studies, including the Sydney Opera House and the Denver International Airport (DIA) Baggage Handling System. These examples illustrate how scope mismanagement can lead to massive delays and budget blowouts—and how proper planning and control can prevent similar issues in your projects.
