Scope creep, also known as requirement creep or feature creep, is an unwanted event when the original project scope expands with additional features and functionality without the corresponding adjustments to time, budget, or other project resources.
Scope creep is how a project’s features, requests, and requirements increase from its initial scope over the course of the project life cycle.

Scope creep can become a thorn in the side of even the most seasoned project managers, and managing it is crucial.

Scope creep is defined as a subtle deviation of the project from the original scope through the addition of new features. It starts with a very small change request that you don’t mind doing. These requests slowly start to pile up and ultimately lead to huge problems.
