Scope creep: A project management term referring to the uncontrolled changes or continuous growth in a project’s scope after the project work has started. These changes can occur due to various reasons, such as changes in requirements, miscommunication, or lack of clear initial requirements, and can lead to delays, cost overruns, or quality issues. Managing scope creep involves setting clear project objectives, maintaining effective communication, and closely monitoring changes to the project’s scope to ensure alignment with project goals and resources.
