In Brazilian corporate culture, establishing clear 'limites do projeto' is essential to avoid 'scope creep' (expansão de escopo), which is seen as inefficient project management. This term is fundamental in PMO (Project Management Office) discussions and is widely used in multinational companies. In Portugal, the equivalent term 'âmbito do projeto' is more prevalent in formal documentation and follows EU project management standards.
