Scope Creep is typically considered a disaster for project budgets. Learn how to manage and engage with it instead, and it can become a great driver for repeat contracts and satisfied clients.

45 minutes (+15 minutes Q&A)

The first thing any Drupal Project Manager learns is that clients only understand the power of the system when they see it. Once you get close to a final product, suddenly the client wants more. This new imaginative phase comes partly from the learning curve of any new system, and partly from simple human nature. Indeed, we are all prone to getting our best ideas towards the end of the project. Managed poorly, this tendency can be an enormous liability on your project budget; the term "scope creep" evokes the frightening image of a project that never ends.
