Scope creep is one of the most persistent challenges in engineering projects, often leading to budget overruns, missed deadlines, and quality issues. In highly regulated industries like aerospace, defense, and high-tech manufacturing, even minor unplanned changes can disrupt entire project timelines and increase costs significantly.
YanPei Chao, Executive Director, Product Management at Accuris, recently wrote about scope creep in Quality magazine. He explores the root causes of scope creep and provides actionable strategies for engineering leaders to keep their projects on track. His article dives into how poor requirements definition, supply chain complexities, and regulatory changes contribute to scope creep—and how digital tools, structured change management, and proactive planning can mitigate these risks.
