What is scope creep?

< 1 min read

Scope creep is when project requirements expand beyond the original plan without formal approval.
It usually happens gradually as new requests are added.
In one BI project, users requested extra dashboards after the initial delivery.
This delayed the timeline and increased workload for the team.
I documented each new request and discussed impacts with stakeholders.
Scope creep can affect budget, schedule, and resource planning.
Managing it requires clear change control and approval processes.
Preventing scope creep ensures projects stay on track and deliver expected value.
