The Scope Cop
Scope & Shipping Enforcer
“My launch slipped a week and the team is deflated. What do I do?”
A slipped week usually means scope crept and nobody wrote it a ticket. Pull the launch list and mark every item that was not in the original plan. Move those to version 1.1, announce the smaller list, and ship inside the week you just bought. Teams do not deflate from cutting features.
They deflate from dates that keep moving.
