Comments on: Scope Creep - taming the savage beast! http://blog.jentekk.com/2008/03/21/scope_creep_website_development_issues/  where real life happens by design Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:20:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Jen http://blog.jentekk.com/2008/03/21/scope_creep_website_development_issues/#comment-379 Jen Thu, 03 Apr 2008 22:38:37 +0000 http://blog.jentekk.com/2008/03/21/scope_creep_website_development_issues/#comment-379 Thanks Liesa. I've found that lightly educating my clients on "Scope Creep" prior to a project can increase the chances of it ideally not happening. But even if it does... you are both prepared. The client is happy knowing that there are provisions for additional work, for which the Company will happily invoice at an additional hourly rate over and above the contract price. Everybody wins! Thanks Liesa.

Now I have it written into my contract that any work requested above and beyond the agreed contract is X amount of dollars per hour. I really like how you've worded it as being a natural part of the development process, thinking of it that way is a much better approach to getting angry, in turn losing potential extra money. However I like your wording better! Excellent article Jenn,
