three-course meal for 20 people. For this
discussion, describe a time when scope creep
happened on a project in which you were involved.
The project you describe may be from work (such

MORE CLASSES VISIT www.cmgt410aid.com Wk 5
Discussion - Feature Requests All projects are
perfect at the beginningbut few are perfect when
they end. Sometimes, project managers gather
descriptions of features that weren't included in
the initial release of a product and slate them
for inclusion into a "2.0" version of the
deliverables. Imagine you have been asked to
submit a feature request for the VitalSource
application you use to read your textbook for
this course. What feature would you request? Be
sure to describe it in sufficient detail so that
the VitalSource programmers could understand and
implement your request. Reply to at least 2
