Scope Creep Management
In the first four weeks, you identified a topic of interest and some preliminary questions you wanted to investigate. Also, you have read in the related literature about what other researchers have done to address your questions by reading and summarizing the findings of at least fifteen peer-reviewed papers. In this week’s discussion, you will need to identify unresolved issues related to your topic of interest and question/s (literature research gap) and refine your original question/s. This means you will have to criticize the research literature you have reviewed to identify possible research literature gap/s. In doing so, it would be best if you address the following questions:
What do you already know about your chosen topic?
What do you not know about your chosen topic?
What has not been explored or underexplored in the related research literature about your chosen topic?
What aspect/s of your chosen topic and original questions remain unanswered?

The literature has extensively covered project scope creep and its control in modern project environments. This essay discusses scope creep management's known, unknown, and unexplored components.
What do you already know about your Chosen Topic?
Scope creep hinders project success, according to the literature. Scope creep has been shown to hurt project outcomes in software development, construction, and agile project management. Uncertain project scope, requirement volatility, and communication challenges contribute to scope creep (Ahmed & Jawad, 2022). The research also suggests rigorous change request mechanisms and stakeholder involvement to reduce scope creep.
What do you not Know about your Chosen Topic?
Despite substantial scope creep management studies, many components remain unknown. Scope creep can damage project managers' careers and companies'
