Module 5, Lesson 2:

Handling Early Requests to Lock Down Scope, Schedule and Cost

It’s hard to blame someone who wants to lock down scope, schedule and cost, at the start of a project. It would be nice to know exactly what will be completed at exactly what cost and on exactly what date.

The problem is that it is essentially impossible. Bosses, clients and customers probably know it too but that doesn’t stop many of them asking. In this video Mike shows you:

• Why locking all three of these project parameters is a mistake.
• 3 great questions for stakeholders that give you flexibility on scope schedule and cost.
• Why a one-handed clock is a powerful illustration to make. stakeholders clear about what is flexible, and what is (really) non-negotiable.
