Managing feature creep involves several strategic approaches:
Clear Objectives: Establish clear project goals and objectives from the outset to avoid ambiguity. Stakeholder Management: Engage all stakeholders early in the process to understand their needs and set realistic expectations. Prioritization: Utilize prioritization techniques such as MoSCoW method to categorize features based on their importance and urgency. Change Control Process: Implement a formal change control process to evaluate the feasibility and impact of new feature requests. Minimum Viable Product (MVP): Focus on developing a Minimum Viable Product to validate the core concept before adding additional features.
