Scope creep

Incremental expansion of the project scope

Introducing features not originally planned

Delay project and add cost and/or time

Danger is nothing gets delivered

Is it in our “scope”? if no, we won’t do it

Project leader responsible for scope management

Companies may have a scope manager for large projects
