Make sure whoever writes the scope of work knows WTF they are doing, get the customer sign off on the SOW. Then discourage feature creep by overcharging for anything outside of the scope of work, because in the long run it will cost you more time and money than its worth.

I wouldn't say the movies, ring tones and TV shows were feature creep, just added support for more filetypes. You can hide them from the menu if you want. The shuffle feature...evolution. Podcast support...again, adapting with the times. Mini store window...definitely feature creep. Overall though, it still basically works the same as it first did.

I totally agree with the fact that 1) the clients often don't know what they want and 2) poor requirements gathering at the outset provides countless problems down the track. Another problem I've come across is 'shoot from the hip' initial scoping of the project. I've been part of projects that were hopelessly underestimated in the first place, putting everyone under completely unnecessary pressure<a class="user" href="http://xn--mgbaj0ai2l.xn----ymcae0df5a6fo.com

The management of projects on the World Wide Web should not be very complicated, or something to drive you offs the wall. And Software like ProofHub makes it all too clear. In principle, this service will empower any company and its clients to share a space on the Net in which they can fully communicate. This space can be assigned to analyze the way any project is headed, schedule activities, real time chat and keep track of milestones.For more info visit : <a class="user" href="http://www.proofhub.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.proofhub.com</a>
