Scope creep happens when features keep growing — but budgets and deadlines don’t.
Why Scope Creep Happens
- Lack of a clear MVP definition
- Poor communication between stakeholders
- Trying to solve every use case at once
How to Prevent It
- Define “done” up front
- Document decisions & changes in writing
- Break work into sprints with retros
Reminder: Great products are built through iteration, not perfectionism.
