Project Scope Management
Project Scope Management refers to the set of processes that ensure a project’s scope is accurately defined and mapped. Scope Management techniques enable project managers and supervisors to allocate just the right amount of work necessary to successfully complete a project—concerned primarily with controlling what is and what is not part of the project’s scope.
Scope planning: Deciding how the scope will be defined, verified, and controlled.
Scope definition: Reviewing the project charter and preliminary scope statement and adding more information as requirements are developed and change requests are approved.
Creating the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure): Subdividing the major project deliverables into smaller, more manageable components.
Scope verification: Formalizing acceptance of the project scope.
Scope control: Controlling changes to project scope.
