Management Styles and Scope Creep
1. Regular functional managers are moving from their classic authoritarian style to a facilitative, participatory style because it is more effective. Do you think it took managers 200 years to learn that, or is something else driving the change?
2. There is danger in letting the client "visit" the project operation too frequently, not the least of which is "scope creep" or informal change to the project's performance specifications. What other dangers might arise? How might the danger of scope creep be monitored and controlled?
