Project Scope Management
Project Scope Management has five processes:
Scope Planning
Scope Definition
Create WBS
Scope Verification
Scope Control
Project Scope Management is concerned with defining all of the work of the project and only the work needed to successfully meet the project goals. These processes are highly interactive. They define and control what is and what is not part of the project. Each process occurs at least once-and often many times-throughout the project's life.
Project Scope Management encompasses both product scope and project scope. Product scope concerns the characteristics of the product or service or result of the project. It's measured against the product requirements to determine successful completion or fulfillment. The application area usually dictates the process tools and techniques you'll use to define and manage product scope. Project scope involves managing the work of the project and only the work of the project. Project scope is measured against the project management plan, the project scope statement, the work breakdown structure (WBS) and the WBS dictionary.
Scope Planning, Scope Definition, Create WBS, Scope Verification, and Scope Control involve the following:
Detailing the requirements of the product of the project
Verifying those details using measurement techniques
Creating a project scope management plan
Creating a work breakdown structure
Controlling changes to thew processes

To ensure a successful Project, both product and project scope must be well integrated. This implies that Project Scope Management is well integrated with the other knowledge area processes. |
