CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 36

A key stakeholder recommends to a senior developer that a new feature be added. The new feature is not part of the current requirement documentation. Which of the following is MOST likely happening?

Answer options

• A. Scope creep
• B. Collecting requirements
• C. Decision-making
• D. Project change

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The situation described is a classic example of scope creep, which occurs when new features or requirements are added to a project beyond its initial scope. While collecting requirements and project changes are related concepts, they do not specifically capture the unplanned addition of features that can lead to project delays or increased costs.
