No no no we promise!, no #scopecreep

The United States government has collected DNA samples from upwards of 133,000 migrant children and teenagers—including at least one 4-year-old—and uploaded their genetic data into a national criminal database ...DNA is now stored in a system originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals.

#scopecreep is one hell of a thing.
It starts with a toilet tank gasket and ends with a bathroom remodeling because the gasket cannot be changed on its own, discovering that the toilet bowl moves and the floor has 1cm of height difference within 30cm of length.

At least I can pick through the #JSON representations of the policy and the repository contents, and try to imitate the documented procedure and results.

There are #examples in the #documentation of how certain scenarios are meant to behave, so I guess I can turn those into test cases.

I’m starting to learn where the current lifecycle rules are letting me down. So there’s that.

Hello #scopecreep my old friend.

Ever had a client say, 'Can you just add this one tiny feature?' 😅 A slippery slope! Here's how to diplomatically manage expectations:
- Clarify impact
- Provide timelines
- Set boundaries
Don't let 'tiny features' snowball into chaos.

Client always asking for 'just one more feature'? Here's what to say: "I can do that - but let's discuss the impact on your timeline and budget first." 🔍 Clarity = Efficiency. Stand firm, stay sane!

The next time a client asks for 'just one more feature' - remind them projects are like cheese: more isn't always better! 🌟 Focus on what's essential and enhance value, not complexity. Too much can spoil the lot.

Most project managers dread the phrase 'just a quick change.' Here's a truth bomb: it's never quick.

Educate your clients on the cost of 'simple' changes.

It's about protecting quality, not just your sanity.

Spotting scope creep is like catching a cold - subtle yet inevitable if ignored.

Tactics to fight it:
1. Lock in deliverables early
2. Document changes rigorously
3. Train your team to push back

Your projects deserve discipline - not distraction.

Ever had a client’s last-second change disrupt weeks of work? It’s avoidable. Predefine ‘urgent’ at project start - saves time, sanity, & budget stretch. They’ll respect boundaries when they know them. 📋💪

Scope creep killing your project? Stop beating dead horses.📌
Here's a trick: Draft a 'Not list' - things you're NOT doing. Share it in every stakeholder meeting to remind everyone (including yourself) about boundaries. Firm but fair.

Ever been in a meeting where the deadline was last week and the feature list just exploded? 🕵️‍♂️ Here's an immediate fix: Learn to say 'no' strategically. Set clear boundaries, and align goals early. Stop the insanity before it starts!

Ever delivered a project on time, only for the client to 'rethink' the whole thing? Here's the golden rule - lock in sign-offs at each stage. Keeps everyone accountable and you'll never face scope creep alone

Stop blaming the client for scope creep—it’s 80% your fault. Next time, use clear contracts and set firm boundaries. Here’s the template I use to stop scope creep in its tracks.

I'm the "IT Expert" at my current job, and I get handed a lot of "mobile phone tasks" which is not something I am at all interested in and I don't think my time is best served spending time on them.

Anyone in a similar boat have any basic solutions?
