Change requests, written confirmations, and tradeoff framing protecting margins and relationships.

Steps

  1. 1SOW lists explicit exclusions, not just inclusions
  2. 2Log every 'small favor' request in a visible tracker
  3. 3Respond to creep with options: add budget, swap scope, or phase later
  4. 4Confirm any verbal changes in same-day recap email
  5. 5Re-baseline timeline visibly when scope changes materially
  6. 6Debrief post-project: where creep entered, plug that door

Common Pitfalls

  • ▲Absorbing 'quick fixes' until resentment explodes
  • ▲Change requests raised at invoice time
