What might be the result of lack of tracking updates in project plan?

  1. Budget overrun

  2. Scope creep

  3. Increased risks

  4. Delayed project timelines

The correct answer is: Scope creep

Lack of tracking updates in a project plan can lead to scope creep. Scope creep refers to uncontrolled changes or continuous growth in a project's scope without proper evaluation of the impact on time, cost, and resources. Without tracking updates, project managers risk losing control over the project scope, resulting in additional requirements being added without being properly assessed or approved. This can ultimately lead to delays, budget overruns, and increased risks in the project. Therefore, monitoring and tracking updates in the project plan are crucial to prevent scope creep and ensure the project stays within its intended scope and objectives.
