Scope Creep

The phenomenon where changes or additions to a project’s scope are discussed and introduced during a meeting. These changes typically go beyond the originally defined project boundaries and objectives. Managing scope creep is essential to ensure that the project remains on track, within budget, and within the initially agreed-upon parameters. Scope creep discussions in meetings involve careful evaluation of the impact on resources, timelines, and project goals to make informed decisions about whether to accept or reject proposed changes.
