Selected Answer: A
In project management, "gold plating" refers to intentionally adding unnecessary features or enhancements to a project beyond the agreed-upon scope, often without client approval, while "scope creep" describes the gradual, uncontrolled expansion of a project's scope due to unplanned changes or additions, usually happening after the project begins and often without proper change management procedures in place. Key Differences: Intention: Gold plating is typically done proactively by the project team, aiming to "impress" the client with extra features, while scope creep often occurs due to unclear requirements, changing stakeholder needs, or poor communication, not necessarily with malicious intent.
