Scope

Also called: scope of work, SOW, scope creep, statement of work, in scope, out of scope

The agreed list of what a project will include and what it will not. 'Scope creep' is when extra work gets added along the way without changing the deadline or the budget. Common Paper publishes a free, standard template for a statement of work (Statement of Work).

For example: The scope for version one says: sign up, book a class, pay. A request to add gift cards halfway through is scope creep unless time and budget are adjusted.
