Strategy

Scope creep is just a test of your boundaries. If you don't defend the blueprint, the building will fall, and it will be your fault: not the sponsor's. Don't be an adversary; be an Architect. Understand their world, but never sacrifice the integrity of the build. A formal 'Change Request' is the only way to say 'Yes' and stay sovereign.
