Explanation

The best way to control scope creep in a project is by assessing the impact of requested changes. Scope creep often occurs when changes or additions to the project are made without properly evaluating their impact on the project’s scope, resources, timeline, and costs. By assessing the impact of each requested change, the project team can ensure that changes are aligned with project objectives and that any adjustments are properly managed, preventing uncontrolled expansion of the project scope.
