The summary,
free to read

This is page one of the report, as it appears inside.

Make the boundary of the agreed work visible, then record changes when they are requested. A timesheet can reveal that effort increased; it cannot decide whether a request was included in the fee. The project owner must compare the request with the agreed deliverables and ask the client to choose a trade-off before extra work becomes routine. Record the baseline deliverables, assumptions and acceptance criteria at kickoff. When a new request arrives, log its source, expected effort and effect on the delivery date. Classify it as included, clarification or proposed change. For a change, offer a price adjustment, a later date or a replacement of existing scope. Obtain the agreed decision in the project's normal record before scheduling work.

Do not add software if the team avoids discussing scope with clients. The essential improvement is a timely, recorded commercial decision.
