Hey folks, I’ve been wrestling with a common challenge in firmware development scope creep. It’s easy for small requests to snowball, especially when working with clients or teams who aren’t as familiar with the constraints of embedded systems. How do you handle these situations without coming across as inflexible or dismissive?
I want to keep collaboration open and maintain good relationships, but I also don’t want to derail timelines or compromise stability. Are there strategies you’ve found effective for gently steering conversations back to the original scope? Maybe it’s about setting clearer expectations upfront or finding creative compromises. Curious to hear how others navigate this tightrope!
