What is scope leap?

Richard Blatcher Senior Director for Product and Industry Solutions Marketing, Wrike
What is scope leap?
In project management, scope establishes expectations for the project team and the client. These are the boundaries that formalize the deliverables of a project. While scope creep is where features are tacked onto an assignment, “scope leap suggests a fundamental and significant change in the project scope,” says Quest10.
An app developer is working on a simple household expense tracking app for a client. While scope creep may mean adding on a feature like an in-app budgeting journal at the behest of a client, scope leap could mean adding on a stock investment tool, for example. This feature would be outside the remit of the project’s initial scope and represent a significant change in direction.
