Hiring
Scope Creep
The gradual addition of unbudgeted requests beyond the agreed deliverables during a project.
What it means in practice
Scope creep occurs when extra concepts, versions, revisions, formats, meetings, or deadlines accumulate outside the priced scope. Teams can manage it by documenting requests and using a change process that confirms added fees and schedule effects.
Why it matters
Uncontrolled scope changes can erode creator compensation, delay delivery, and create disputes over completion.
How it is used
A producer logs a request for additional video variations and obtains approval for a revised fee and timeline.
