1. 1. The need for change of scope could definitely need more
time and or funding. The stakeholders must be told and told the
truth. If circumstances caused it, such as weather, or even
incompetence. The truth out helps find a solution. Where ever
the incompetence occurred should be confronted, and measures
to correct it should take place, even penalties, including
termination if mandated.
2. In the normal course of a project, using the change process
would change the scope of a project. However, a situation like
what we saw in the Rosa County case is such a mess.Starting
from scratch may be the only way to rescue victory out of the
jaws of defeat.
What is more likely to be the case is scope creep, expanding the
deliverables without a formal process. I saw this happen with a
software project I was running in the early eighties. I was the
culprit. I didn't understand the problem and drove my
programmers nuts with "little" fixes. We finally came to our
senses and established rules for fixes and upgrades. As a result,
my lead programmer canceled the contract he'd taken out on me.
