RE: Helping one of my oldest clients and being bitten by the scope monster.

in #life8 years ago

Mission creep is a project management phrase that means the same as scope monster. I can relate to wanting to change you life direction, but having folks who believe that the sun rises and sets in your skills and they can't do without you. Your concern and help to them, even if reluctantly, speaks to the quality mettle you're made of. What I've done in this situation is find my replacement, introduce him/her to them and assure them if they are not happy you are a phone call away. I've never had a call after that.
