📚 Project Vocabulary: Gold Plating 🏅

📚 Project Vocabulary: Gold Plating 🏅

Definition: The practice of adding extra features or enhancements to a project deliverable that were not part of the original requirements, often leading to increased costs and delayed completion.

Example: In a website development project, the design team might be tempted to add fancy animations and interactive elements that go beyond the client’s specifications, resulting in gold plating that extends the project timeline.

Gold plating is like adding unnecessary decorations to a Christmas tree – it may look pretty, but it weighs down the branches and hides the tree’s natural beauty. 🎄🎉
