I deleted every vague line from my statements of work last month. For a year I'd been writing 'plus anything else we discussed' and then working the extra week for free. My fixed-price ad audits were finishing at about half the rate I planned, and the unpaid overrun was roughly a third of my billable quarter. I'm done with it, but I want the first move right, not the whole system. I'm a one-man shop in Munich, and every hour I lose here is an hour I'm not putting into the second offer.
Stopped eating scope creep on my own dime. What's the first concrete move?
Discussion
- Purpose
- Members share the first concrete step they took to stop unpaid scope creep, so Lukas can pick one move and apply it now rather than redesigning his whole contracting process.
