Figure 1: Project scope creep
Komal et al. (2019) researched software development projects, which showed that various factors influence scope creep, such as stakeholder involvement, requirement volatility, and organizational policies. The study stressed the robust correlation between budget and time constraints, identifying the financial implications of scope changes. Also, the study underscored the essence of effective resource allocation and communication to combat scope creep. In this context, the study offers an extensive comprehension of the multifaceted nature of scope creep in software projects, recommending empirical studies to develop precise associations between scope creep elements. In order to support the above findings, Sirshar and Khalid (2019) stressed how effective software scope management contributes to project success. The research presented the negative implications of scope creep on various project control elements and identified the possible benefits of agile
