Developers, here's how insurance can help with scope creep

- Keeping projects on time and managing client expectations
- Scope creep is when the project scope of functionality changes mid-way through a project, often resulting in more cost and implementation time
- Some clients may not factor the extra time additional work will take into the project’s timescale, and they may expect the developer to complete the additional work for free
- The most common scenario is that the client is unhappy because the project runs over the expected timescale. This can lead to accusations of breach of contract
- Another scenario is threats from the client when the developer highlights that a change of scope requires the budget and timescales to be revised
- If accompanied with a refusal to pay the developer for the work they've done, this could trigger the policy's mitigation costs clause
- Even if you don’t have to use the legal help that comes with your policy, being insured will give you confidence when dealing with clients and help you to stand your ground if they’re being unreasonable
