PMI defines scope creep as “adding features and functionality (project scope) without addressing the effects on time, costs, and resources, or without customer approval” (PMI, 2008, p 440). Scope creep causes the project to lose definition, and stakeholders may carry unreasonable expectations throughout the entirety of the project. In my experience, scope creep most often occurs when additional subject matter experts are brought into the project late in the game by the client – and the PM is faced with a litany of, “where is this functionality?” It is important for the PM to define the scope of the project from day one, and to review it in weekly meetings. Follow the link below to see what Stephanie Ray has to say about this critical subject:

Knowledge Management is an often over-looked and under-valued activity in any organization. With regard to a definition, KMWorld.com and the Gartner Group state, “Knowledge management is a discipline that promotes an integrated approach to identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing all of an enterprise’s information assets. These assets may include databases, documents, policies, procedures, and previously un-captured expertise and experience in individual workers” (Duhon, 1998). In her post below, Yasmina Khelifi advocates for employees to take the lead when it comes to this discipline – and I concur as long as we are maintaining that KM resources be secure, accessible, organized, current, and have some level of redundancy. Our workgroups have recently turned to Microsoft Teams as a solution for file-sharing and collaboration. Share your organization’s approaches to knowledge management in the coments below:
