Topic 1: Scope Changes

How can possible changes to a project affect the outcome of the project? Specifically, discuss how to tell the scope of changes. Are they within or outside of scope? If project changes are determined to be outside the scope of the project, what actions need to be taken? What are the best ways to discuss "surprise" changes with stakeholders? What is "Scope Creep" and how do we combat it?

Include a question at the end of your post that other students can use to respond to you.
