Scope Creep - it KILLS Projects. SO, we need to be able to stop it. This was always one of the things most people cited from Day 1 of my live training as an important lesson that had stuck with them and that would be useful at work.

Mike, who exactly is supposed to "sign-off" on this Scope? Just the Project Sponsor? Do you really print the Scope out and get them to just sign that document? Or is it a part of a more formal process where other things are being signed related to the project? Personally, I have never had anyone sign my Scope documents... but its clearly not a bad idea.
Good question. My answer is yes - I suggest you use this as a practical process, not just a helpful concept. A printed scope statement - often as a part of the project definition or inception document (there are loads of names) can go to the client, sponsor, or Board... and you should aim for either a physical signature (or signatures) or a board minute or exchange of emails. SOme formal record. Who signs off and how you record the sign-off is a matter of the local governance processes.
