Tackling scope in mobile app projects needs a meticulously planned approach. I highly recommend the below 1. Define the UX scope and get sign offs in advance for the same. Most of the scope creep is cornered around UI UX. 2. Shape the SOW to tackle the planned scope and add how exceptions to this will be handled. 3. Formally execute the SOW. 4. Stick to the SOW.

Navigating scope creep effectively requires a proactive and agile management style. Beautifully put regarding setting clear boundaries and a change control process.

Establish Clear and Detailed Requirements Early: Document every requirement with precision, including edge cases. Use tools like user stories and acceptance criteria to make the scope clear and measurable. Foster Transparent Communication with Stakeholders: Hold regular check-ins with stakeholders to discuss progress and any potential changes. Make sure that everyone understands the implications of scope alterations on the project timeline and budget. Implement a Rigorous Change Control Process: Set up a formal change request process where every modification is logged, analyzed, and approved only if it aligns with the project’s goals and available resources.
