All major deliverables and any project boundaries are found in the scope document. It must be strictly adhered to, to prevent what is called scope creep. Several things can cause scope creep. Some are identified as: poor requirement analysis, underestimating the complexities of the project, lack of change control and gold plating. It is the project manager’s job through full analysis, and proper documentation of the project scope statement and planning for the uncertainties that arises in a project to prevent scope creeping.
