Is scope creep “normal”?
For 50–300-person custom software firms, small unscoped requests turn into consistent margin pressure. Start with our 3-minute Scope-Creep Stop Checklist for PMs and a 15-minute diagnostic that identifies one immediate, high‑impact fix.
If we move to a Pilot, our target is a 6% net‑margin uplift in 30 days.
Here's what you'll find about it:
Practitioner-led: built and used by former PMs and Agile leaders who shipped complex integrations and SOW‑governed programs.
Fast, embedded fixes: scripts and SOW checkpoints you apply inside existing standups (no heavy process change).
Outcome-focused pilot: 30 days, measured, KPI-targeted — designed to prove margin improvement or continue until the KPI is met.
Pilot guarantee: target = +6% net‑margin uplift in 30 days; if the agreed KPI isn’t met, we’ll extend the pilot free until it is.
"Scope control is not about saying NO — it’s about steering YES toward the customer’s real win and your profits."
