Ever jumped into a project only to realize halfway through that no one agreed on what “done” looked like? In this kickoff episode of The Learning Curve, I break down why defining project scope is the most critical step in any L&D initiative — whether you're launching a new LMS, building a curriculum from scratch, or revamping onboarding.

You’ll hear real-world scenarios, practical frameworks, and the questions I always ask before I take on any new project. Plus, you’ll walk away with a free downloadable checklist to help you scope smarter — and save yourself time, money, and frustration.

• Why project scope is your secret weapon in L&D
• How to spot scope creep before it takes over
• Real examples of LMS and curriculum projects that went sideways — and how to fix them
• What to include (and exclude) in your project scope
• Tools to help you define, track, and communicate scope clearly
• The 5 most important lessons I’ve learned managing L&D projects

📥 Grab your L&D Project Scope Checklist — the exact framework I use with clients to define scope, align stakeholders, and prevent last-minute surprises.

Have a scope nightmare story of your own? I’d love to hear it!
