In such situations, define the scope early, ensuring that the program’s scope is clearly defined from the outset, with specific deliverables, timelines, and resource allocations. Implement a robust change management process, and evaluate the impact of each change request on both the budget and the program's overall goals. If a proposed change doesn’t align with the specific objectives or deliver significant value, it should be deprioritized or rejected. Prioritize tasks and deliverables that offer the most value within the budget. Use budgeting tools and financial controls to monitor spending in real time. Regularly compare actual expenses against the budget to identify and address any variances early.

Dealing with scope creep and a tight budget can be stressful, but here’s how I tackle it:
1. Reaffirm Goals: I help the team stay focused on what really matters, so we don’t get sidetracked.
2. Change Control: Every change is carefully reviewed to keep our budget and timeline safe.
3. Communicate Transparently: I’m always open with stakeholders, ensuring they understand the impact of changes.

Whilst there are multiple ways, here's my top 3 -
1. Establish Clear Objectives: Define and document the program’s goals and deliverables at the outset. Regularly revisit and communicate these objectives to the team and stakeholders to ensure everyone remains aligned and focused on the original scope.
2. Implement Change Control Processes: Introduce a formal change request process that requires assessment of the impact on budget, timeline, and resources before any changes are approved.
3. Prioritize and Monitor: Continuously prioritize tasks and features based on their value and impact on the program’s goals. Regularly review progress and budget utilization to identify potential areas of scope creep early and make necessary adjustments.
