Clarify the project boundaries, which work is to be completed by the project and which work is not within the scope of the project

Supervise the project execution work to ensure that the work within the scope has been completed. If any work outside the scope is found, stop and correct it.

Prevent scope creep and gold plating throughout the entire process. Work beyond the scope may affect progress, cost, quality, and directly affect the success or failure of the project.
