Funny thing, I’ve been discussing various forms of project management and scope creep as it pertains to project failure. I argued that it is always better to modularize your development process into small deliverables and to have a core deliverable that would not succumb to change requests but would be delivered regardless. And to my great satisfaction, this approach is even a formal PM methodology also known as Agile.
Scope, Time, And Cost… these should be relatively self explanatory and are fundamental to all project management.
This is when you break down the project into smaller more manageable parts.
Scope creep is the result of project requirements growing as the project progresses. The project manager must be aware of any extra RFC(request for change) requests coming in and carefully manage the budgetary and time consequences of these requests. Uncontrolled scope creep can doom a project making it unwieldy and running it vastly over time and over budget.
