[Ehsanuls55]

The project manager is the first and last person involved in a project. Not only do they oversee each and every phase of the project , but they are also responsible for maintaining the process.

Here are seven tips for managing scope creep:

The email inbox is one of the scope creeps' favorite doors to invite themselves in and take over your chairman email lists project. The amount of time you spend emailing back and forth is taking away valuable hours of in-depth work. You're sending out a list of questions, interpreting bits of information, and waiting for responses to put together a formal report.

With a project intake form like ClickUp Forms, you'll be proactively protecting your team's productivity around the clock.

**Forms are predictable. Forms store data. Forms save money.

When a client or stakeholder answers the questions in the Form, they see their own thought process reflected back to them. This helps them extract the necessary information that you, as a project manager, need to understand their request before the team starts working.

These questions are designed to guide and inspire you in your project request form:

Are there visual elements (photos, infographics, logos, etc.) that should be used in the project?
Are there any contents (essays, reports, surveys, study results, etc.) that should be used in the project?
