How Do I Handle Scope Changes Without Losing Money?

You handle scope changes by turning each new request into a change record with description, impact on time and cost, and a client approval, before any extra work begins. On Jestor, this runs through a Pipe for change requests and Approvals.

Scope creep rarely arrives as one large request. It comes as many small additions, each reasonable on its own. Without a process, the agency absorbs them one by one until the project is no longer profitable.

What unmanaged scope changes cost

• Extra work delivered without extra payment
• Deadlines extended without anyone agreeing to it
• Conflicts when the agency finally asks to be paid
• Teams unsure what is included and what is not

How change management works

• Each change is a request linked to the original project
• The team estimates the impact on hours and cost
• The client approves the change and the new terms
• The project's scope, budget, and dates update accordingly

Why Jestor fits this use case

• Every change has a price before it is performed
• Records prevent arguments about what was agreed
• Project budgets stay accurate
• This scales from a few projects to an agency with many clients
