    I usually think of scope creep as adding more and more work items, like this: you’re building a bridge between two buildings. During design, you find out one of the buildings has terrible foundations that should really just be replaced. Scope creep would be deciding to replace the building foundations as part of the bridge project.

    It’s possible I’m not using the term correctly either though. Maybe what I’ve described instead is design creep, or something.
