Question

Which of the following actions by the project team increases the chance of scope creep?

Options

AInforming customers to submit a change request when asking for modifications
BFollowing the project plan and incorporating approved changes
CUsing the baselined network diagram to complete deliverables
DFollowing the directions of the senior management team regarding what work should be done

Explanation

Note: The listed correct answer is B, but from standard project management principles, D is the action that increases scope creep risk. Following senior management's informal direction to perform work outside the formal change control process bypasses the CCB and adds unplanned scope without authorization - the classic driver of scope creep. Options A and C actively prevent scope creep through change control and baselining. Option B (following the project plan and incorporating approved changes) represents disciplined change management and should also prevent scope creep. If the intended answer is B, it may reflect a scenario where blindly incorporating changes without verifying alignment with the original scope baseline contributes to creep - but D remains the most textbook example of scope creep risk.
