Scope is a function of resources and time. If the scope of what you’re trying to accomplish is too much to get done in a high quality way, you have to add resources, add time, or cut back the scope. In other words, say “no” to some of the less important items and non-value-adding steps. Think in terms of your options for completing tasks:
- Do well yourself
- Do yourself, but just well enough
- Delegate and supervise
- Delegate and ignore
- Do later
- Do never
