‘Scope creep’ is a term used to describe changes in a project’s scope that
e
Id
l
ra
Co

were not accounted for. These changes are uncontrolled and usually a result
ra
e
I
st
of the project's scope not having been properly defined and controlled in
g
st
lle
lia
a
u

earlier stages. Scope creep may occur, for example, when a client wants to add
e
Id
a
o
Id
extras to the project scope unexpectedly. It may occur as the result of poor
ra
r
ge
C
st
communication within the organisation and project team.

Scope creep can negatively affect the outcomes of a project, and so any
al
ra

instances of scope creep should be reported and resolved as soon as they are identified.
