Discussion:
Can scope creep be good for a project?
There is a school of thought that argues that, far from being undesirable, some degree of scope creep may in fact be beneficial for certain types of projects e.g. it encourages stakeholder engagement, indicates responsiveness, and shows that objectives and WBS tasks are being regularly re-evaluated and re-aligned. The only caveat is that whatever scope creep occurs is properly managed and controlled.
Do you have any opinions on this view of scope creep?
