Scope creep, missed expectations, and stakeholder frustration often happen because teams don’t define clear boundaries for their solutions.
In this episode of Business Analysis Simplified, Michael and Emily explore how to define and communicate solution boundaries before you start building. They discuss why it’s essential to clarify what’s in scope—and just as importantly, what’s out of scope—to protect your timelines, budget, and team focus.
You’ll learn:
Why solution boundaries matter for delivery success.
A simple, practical framework for defining scope clearly.
How to communicate boundaries with stakeholders without conflict.
A real-world example of how defining scope early prevented rework.
If you’re a BA, product owner, or team lead, this episode will help you manage stakeholder expectations and prevent unnecessary chaos.
