For the PM who can feel the work changing before anyone is ready to admit the project has changed.

​​​​

Scope creep rarely kicks down the door. It arrives as a reasonable sentence, a harmless clarification, a quick addition, a “while we’re already here” request, and a room too tired to make the tradeoff visible.

This book lives in the dangerous early zone before formal change control wakes up. It shows how ambiguity becomes work, how politeness becomes permission, and how good PMs get buried carrying decisions no one made out loud.
