Solve the Challenges of Scope Creep and Change Orders in the Built Environment

With the growing complexity of today’s large engineering and construction projects, effective scope and change order management is critical to reducing waste, disputes, and financial loss.

According to a recent global PMI survey, over 70% of project management professionals in the construction industry experience scope creep, resulting in project delays and cost overruns. Lead the change with PMI’s Scope and Change Order Management in the Built Environment course, designed by industry experts to help you:

  • Apply best practices in both scope development and scope management to reduce the number of change orders downstream
  • Mobilize a standardized change order process to effectively manage project changes
  • Understand the different types of technologies that can be used to support scope and change order management
