What is Scope Creep?
Scope creep refers to the uncontrolled expansion of a project's scope without adjustments to time, budget, or resources. It often happens when requirements are not clearly defined or when clients add requests mid-project that were not part of the original agreement.

FAQ
- How does an intake form prevent scope creep? By forcing clients to articulate their needs upfront, you can capture all requirements in a written brief that serves as the single source of truth.
- What if the client changes their mind? When you have a documented scope, new requests become billable change orders rather than awkward favors.
- Can Intakly help with ongoing projects? Intakly is best used at the start of a project or phase to set the baseline scope.
