What is scope gap?

The term scope gap refers to an instance where there is a gap in understanding of project expectations. Scope gap can be detrimental to on-time and on-budget delivery because it is a fundamental lack of clarity and understanding of project goals, deliverables, and expectations. 

Scope gap can occur when project planning is informal or when communication between the client and the project team is poor.
