Abstract: Scope creep, also called kitchen sink syndrome in project management, refers to uncontrollable continuous scope changes at any point after the project start. When a project requires changes due to scope creep, new tasks most likely will require additional budget and may cause delays in the schedule.Even though the schedule and budget are different concepts, they are in fact an integrated component and if one does not capture the total project scope correctly or plan for scope changes, there is little hope that the project can be executed favorably for the budget or schedule. This paper presents a case study of a rail transit project and discusses the causes and strategies to tackle scope creep.
