4. Scope verification involves formalizing acceptance of the project scope. Key
project stakeholders, such as the customer and sponsor for the project, inspect
and
then formally accept the deliverables of the project during this process. If the
deliverables are not acceptable, the customer or sponsor usually request changes,
which result in recommendations for taking corrective actions, the main outputs
of this process, therefore, are accepted deliverables, requested changes, and
recommended corrective actions.
5. Scope control involves controlling changes to project scope, which is a
challenge on many information technology projects. Scope control includes
identifying, evaluating and implementing changes to project scope as the project
progresses. Scope changes often influence the team’s ability to meet project time
and cost goals. So project managers must carefully weigh the cost and benefits of
scope changes. The main outputs of this process are requested changes,
recommended corrective actions, and updates to the project scope statement,
WBS and WBS dictionary, scope baseline, project management plan, and
organizational process assets.
