Scope Creep Self-Defence: How to Protect Delivery Without Becoming the “Difficult” PM
Scope Creep Self-Defence is not a methodology course.
It’s a practical operating guide for protecting delivery when scope keeps “quietly evolving.”
This course is about the real moments scope creeps in:
“Just one small change”
“We’ll figure out the impact later”
“It shouldn’t affect the timeline”
“Can’t we be flexible?”
And the uncomfortable truth:
Scope creep isn’t a requirements problem.
It’s a boundary, communication, and authority problem.
In this course, you’ll learn how to:
Recognize early, non-obvious forms of scope creep
Respond without triggering defensiveness or political backlash
Use language that slows scope expansion without saying “no”
Anchor decisions to delivery reality, not optimism
Protect your team, timeline, and credibility — calmly and professionally
This is not about rigid control.
It’s about maintaining trust while holding the line.
This course includes
6 focused lessons with narrated video content
Downloadable slides and audio for flexible consumption
Practical scripts for scope conversations that actually happen
A self-guided Scope Creep Lab to apply the techniques immediately
Lifetime access to all materials
Who this is for
Project managers accountable for delivery but not final decisions
PMs working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
Anyone tired of absorbing scope risk “for the sake of collaboration”
Who it’s not for
Entry-level PMs looking for exam prep
Teams expecting rigid change-control templates to solve people problems
Anyone unwilling to challenge vague commitments
This course won’t teach you how to say no louder.
It will teach you how to hold boundaries without burning trust.
