While project managers may each have their own personality and management style, it seems that many of them have a pernicious love of sneaking in ‘scope creep’ when they can (whether anyone is watching or not). While they usually mean well (bless their hearts), what’s the best way that you’ve found to say ‘NO’ to project managers?
Let me start by saying that if a PM is ‘sneaking in scope creep’ he is a very bad project manager.
Having said that…it’s not your job to say no to a project manager. It’s your job to ensure that he knows and understands the costs and risks of the change he is making. If the PM insists on changing the scope and adjusting nothing else in the project, get another job (because the project and/or company is doomed).
