funkcióbvítések

A funkcióbvítések, often translated as "feature creep" or "scope creep" in English, refers to the uncontrolled addition of new features or functionalities to a product, project, or system beyond its original scope. This phenomenon is particularly common in software development, but can occur in various fields.

The gradual introduction of seemingly minor enhancements can lead to significant deviations from the initial plan. This often happens when stakeholders or developers propose new ideas during the development process, believing they are beneficial or easy to implement. While some additions can be valuable, unchecked growth can lead to several negative consequences.

These consequences include extended development timelines, increased costs, and a potential decrease in the quality of the final product due to rushed implementation of new features. Furthermore, a product with too many features can become complex and difficult to use, alienating its intended audience. Managing funkcióbvítések requires clear project scope definition, effective change management processes, and strong leadership to prioritize and evaluate new feature requests against the project's original goals and constraints. Regular communication and stakeholder alignment are crucial to prevent uncontrolled expansion.
