How can you effectively manage the scope of a task over time?

Managing scope changes is vital to prevent scope creep or gold plating, which can lead to higher costs, delays, and risks. To control these changes, establish a change management process outlining how to request, review, approve, implement, and document them. Additionally, assess the changes' impact on budget, schedule, and quality, ensuring alignment with the original project scope and objectives. Effective scope change management keeps projects on track and focused on delivering what was initially agreed upon.
