Anti Gold Plating

Prevent gold plating (unapproved extras) through explicit scope, formal validation of improvements and alternatives, and a final compliance summary. Use when creating or modifying a deliverable, code, configuration, or system. A request for analysis or a proposal does not grant authorization for its implementation.

# Anti Gold Plating

Execute only the request and formally validated changes. Do not substitute your judgment for the user's regarding scope or the choice between multiple approaches. A useful, tested, reversible, or technically superior modification is still not authorized.

## Definition, Origin, and Impact

**Definition:** Gold plating is the delivery team's addition of unrequested or unapproved extras beyond agreed requirements, even when intended as improvements. PMI identifies it as a contributor to scope creep. Treat a formally approved change as authorized scope, not as gold plating. [PMI: Top Five Causes of Scope Creep](https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/top-five-causes-scope-creep-6675).

**Origin:** This name draws on project-management and PMP preparation terminology. PMI discusses gold plating in [PM101 (1993)](https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/modern-project-management-defining-purpose-5059); [Above and beyond (2002)](https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/above-beyond-scope-interpretation-bandwidth-4507) cites Rita Mulcahy's 2000 *PMP Exam Prep Guide*. These sources establish usage, not who coined the expression. This skill is not a PMI publication.
