Describe the causes of scopre creep and ways to manage it.

The simplest way to describe scope creep would be to use the term "unforeseen circumstances." This usually means more time and money. One of the ways this occurs is from an indecisive customer. Another cause of scope creep is a lack of communication between the project manager and the customer. After all, "the customer is always right." In simple terms, scope creeps derives from poor planning and execution of a project. This is why it is important to set project goals and to keep the customer in the loop.
