Keeping a keen eye on scope is a key responsibility of every project manager. The ability to address any element that affects project performance risks triggering a cascade of changes to cost and schedule, that can have dangerous consequences to the project as a whole. Experts Jay Christensen and Scott Lissit walk through the nature of the problem and how you can put a keen eye on resolution by getting back to basics, holding the reins of scope tightly, while still listening to the core customer. Listen to this week’s Ask Cadence for more on getting your projects started right, and thanks to those who have written in with this challenge!
A universal understanding of project scope is critical to overcoming confusion in project start-up.

Experts Jay Christensen and Scott Lissit walk through the nature of the problem and how you can put a keen eye on resolution by getting back to basics and listening to your project customers. Listen to this week’s Ask Cadence for more on getting your projects started right!
