This year my capstone project suffered from scope creep because we did not have a defined end product. We essentially would complete the main project task, and if we had time then we would start discussing other tasks that could be done. However since our expectations were mainly for the one project, we did not plan in any time to attempt the action items out of the scope of our project. However if we had planned them in from the start, we would have been able to get farther in the overall project.
