Join our CEO, John Meyer, for a discussion on how to protect your A/E firm from scope creep and increase utilization and profit.

Course Description

Deltek calls scope creep the number one threat to a services organization. According to a study by the Project Management Institute, almost 70% of projects experience scope creep. This course reviews seven practical strategies for identifying and preventing common sources of profit loss in architectural, engineering, and consulting (A/E/C) projects. Participants will examine key drivers of margin erosion, including scope changes, low utilization rates, underreported labor, and delayed billing cycles. Using scenario-based examples, the course provides guidance on how project teams can improve financial performance through structured communication, weekly variance tracking, and simple documentation practices. The content is grounded in benchmarks from PSMJ, Deltek Clarity, and other industry studies, with an emphasis on field-ready applications.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, the participant will be able to:

Identify common operational and financial factors that contribute to protecting margins in A/E/C project delivery.
Describe the impact of scope creep poor project management on project margins.
