Project Scope and Requirements Management

Scope creep rarely arrives as one dramatic change, it arrives as a series of small reasonable sounding requests that nobody costs properly. This course builds the discipline to define scope precisely, elicit requirements that stakeholders actually agree on, and run a change control process firm enough to protect the schedule and budget without freezing out legitimate business need.
