PROJECT SCOPE MANAGEMENT
Project scope management includes the processes involved in defining and
controlling what is or is not included in a project. It ensures that the project team
and
stakeholders have the same understanding of what products the project will
produce and what processes the project team will use to produce them. There are
five main processes involved in project scope management:
1. Scope planning
involves deciding how the scope will be defined, verified, and
controlled and how the WBS will be created. The project team creates a scope
management plan as the main output of the project scope planning process.
2. Scope definition involves reviewing the project charter and preliminary scope
statement created during the initiation process and adding more information
during the planning process as requirements are developed and change request
are approved. The main outputs of scope definition are the project scope
statement and project scope management plan.
3. Creating the WBS involves subdividing the major project deliverables into
smaller,
more
manageable components. The
main outputs
include a work
breakdown structure (WBS), a WBS dictionary, a scope baseline, requested
changes to the project, and updates to the project scope statement and project
scope management plan.
