A fundamental topic for the success of a project is the management of scope. The original scope of a project has cost assumptions to ensure project success. Provide a specific example from your experience or from examples in the text where a change in scope can impact the project financials. If you were the sponsor of this project, would you approve the change in scope knowing what you do now?
