You are the business analyst for your organization and are with another business analyst, Steve, on the requirements elicitation for a new solution. You warn
Steve that you'll need to be tracing the requirements in an effort to prevent scope creep.
What is scope creep?
Scope creep is when the scope of a project grows incrementally due to the addition of new requirements, often without proper review or approval and sometimes unnecessary. This uncontrolled expansion often leads to increased time and costs, which is why it is important to trace the requirements effectively to prevent it.
