Correct Answer: A
Scope creep is most likely happening when a key stakeholder recommends to a senior developer that a new
feature be added that is not part of the current requirement documentation. Scope creep is a term that refers to
the uncontrolled expansion or change of a project's scope beyond its original boundaries or objectives. Scope
creep can happen due to various reasons, such as changing customer demands, unclear or incomplete
requirements, poor communication, lack of change control, or stakeholder interference. Scope creep can have
negative impacts on a project, such as delays, cost overruns, quality issues, or reduced customer satisfaction12
