What is Feature Creep?
Feature Creep refers to the tendency for a product to accumulate more features than originally planned, often leading to increased complexity, delays, and resource strain. While the intention is to enhance the product, adding too many features can result in a cluttered user experience, technical debt, and reduced focus on core functionalities.
To manage feature creep, teams must prioritize features that align with user needs and business goals, leveraging user feedback and data-driven insights. Clear communication, scope management, and iterative development can help teams maintain a balanced approach, ensuring that the product delivers value without overwhelming users or compromising quality.
