Quando o escopo do projeto se expande inesperadamente, minha abordagem é simples: reavaliar, gerir recursos e mapear riscos. Primeiro, defino prioridades, separando o essencial do que pode ser ajustado ou postergado. Depois, avalio se a equipe e os recursos disponíveis conseguem absorver a mudança sem comprometer a entrega. Se necessário, redistribuo demandas ou renegocio apoio. Paralelamente, reviso riscos e impactos, garantindo que nenhuma mudança prejudique a qualidade. O segredo é manter o controle sem sufocar a equipe, ajustando a rota com clareza e estratégia.
