First, the plane introduced
feature creep. It added new software to compensate for "minor" changes to the plane.
The D Series loaders
feature Creep Control and Continuous Flow, which allow operators to slow the track speed of the equipment while maintaining high RPMs on attachment tools.
The new iPhones, two new iPads, and even the new iOS 7 operating system with numerous improvements didn't cut it with an audience looking for revolution instead of products with
feature creep and assorted refinements.
Recent competitive moves from carriers like T-Mobile mean that the conflict between OEMs looking to maintain or grow ASP through
feature creep and operators looking to shore up margins and reduce subsidy is about to enter a new phase.
By starting a project plan with a target cost and development schedule, a company prevents
feature creep. Green features are clearly defined ahead of time, and yellow features are added during the design process only if the additional cost and development time stay within the bounds for the project.
Maybe a case of
feature creep and a desperation to include-all and service-all-possible-user-intents.
