    Why is Scoping Neglected? Share Your Thoughts

    The fact is, most people take up some projects when they are not practically trained to handle them but instead when the just have an idea of what needs to be done. In such cases, scoping becomes difficult as it may require a lot consultations which is always limited by time.
    Thanks
