Introduction Scope or requirements creep is the uncontrolled and often unmanageable growth of a project’s original requirements. According to a study done by the Project Management Institute , about 50% of projects experience scope creep, and only about 60% finish within budget while about 50% are finished on-schedule. In addition, scope creep is notorious for stressing out team members and taking time away from the original deliverables.
