Scope creep: Changes in project scope beyond the initial agreed-upon plan can lead to project failure. When additional requirements, features, or alterations are introduced without proper evaluation and management, it can result in budget overruns, delays, and an inability to meet project objectives. Poor risk management: Failure to effectively identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks can lead to project failure. Unforeseen events, such as natural disasters, legal disputes, or unexpected economic downturns, can disrupt the project and result in its failure if not adequately addressed.
