  Scope Creep is a common challenge in project management.  Scope Creep is sometimes referred to as Scope Slip.  Scope Creep is any activity that was not part of the initial plan for a project.  It often can be seen in activities, services or additional features that are not covered in a project quote, out of the initial timeline or characteristics that are not within tolerance.  To prevent scope creep improvements must be monitored closely often on a very granular perspective so that the outputs do not exceed to the initial agreements and do not fall outside of timelines, project costs or quality.
