OfferForBusiness Glossary
What is Scope creep?
Scope creep is the gradual addition of tasks, versions or requirements after agreement, without a matching update to price, time or workload.
Why it matters
Small additions can quietly turn the accepted job into a different project. The effect is easy to miss when each request sounds minor on its own. A visible scope and change process make the accumulated impact easier to discuss.
How to use it
- Compare every new request with the accepted scope.
- Record additions instead of relying on chat history.
- Estimate the time and outputs affected by each addition.
- Pause the added task until its treatment is agreed.
