Project management can often feel like trying to control chaos. From resource allocation to managing stakeholders, there’s so much going on that it’s easy to lose track. One of the most common challenges is managing what’s “out of scope” – but what does this term mean, and how can we deal with it effectively? This blog post is here to guide you through the mysterious landscape of “out of scope”.
What Does “Out of Scope” Mean?
“Out of scope” is a term used in project management to refer to tasks, activities, or requirements that fall outside the agreed-upon project’s boundaries. These can create unexpected pressure on your resources, time, and budget, causing delays, cost overruns, or even project failure if not handled correctly.
But how do you determine what’s out of scope? This is where a clearly defined project scope comes into play.
Key takeaway:
“Out of scope” refers to anything that falls outside the defined boundaries of a project.
