Scope creep is one of the issues that are faced by the freelancers, especially the new ones. There are many reasons why this may happen. In the first instance, it can happen if there is no clarity form both ends. Freelancers and clients need to be cleared on some scope of project before they start handling the project. Also, there is a need for the freelancers not to be overzealous. When they are the clients can intentionally add more information to the project.
