Which statement is false? Progressive elaboration of project scope…

…is a characteristic of projects that accompanies the concepts of temporary and unique.
… means developing in steps. It not should be confused with scope creep.
…signals a weak spot in the scope definition process, caused by incomplete contracts and specifications.
…when properly managed, integrates elaboration of project and deliverable specifications.

The correct answer is: …signals a weak spot in the scope definition process, caused by incomplete contracts and specifications.

Progressive elaboration of project scope refers to the idea that project scope can be developed and revised in stages as more information becomes available and as the project progresses. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that progressive elaboration of project scope is a result of incomplete contracts and specifications, when in fact it is a strategic approach to managing project scope. Options A, B, and D all accurately describe aspects of progressive elaboration of project scope, making them incorrect answers for this question.
