Andy is the program manager of the HQN Program. This program is nearing its completion and there is still $25,000 left in the program budget. Andy has asked the program team to identify some extra deliverables that can be included in the program scope to improve the program deliverable but also to use all of the funds in the budget. What term is assigned to the actions that Andy is trying to do in this instance?
Gold plating is the action of adding extra features or deliverables to a project that were not initially included in the project scope, often using leftover budget or resources. Although it might seem beneficial, it is generally discouraged because it can lead to scope creep, increased costs, and potential project risks. Andy's decision to use all the remaining funds by adding extra deliverables fits the description of gold plating.
