The list below provides an overview of the Project Scope Management processes, which include the following:
5.1 Plan Scope Management?The process of creating a scope management plan that documents how the project scope will be defined, validated, and controlled.
5.2 Collect Requirements?The process of determining, documenting, and managing stakeholder needs and requirements to meet project objectives.
5.3 Define Scope?The process of developing a detailed description of the project and product.
5.4 Create WBS?The process of subdividing project deliverables and project work into smaller, more manageable components.
5.5 Validate Scope?The process of formalizing acceptance of the completed project deliverables.
5.6 Control Scope?The process of monitoring the status of the project and product scope and managing changes to the scope baseline.
In the project context, the term scope can refer to:
? Product scope. The features and functions that characterize a product, service, or result; and/or ? Project scope. The work performed to deliver a product, service, or result with the specified features and functions. The term project scope is sometimes viewed as including product scope.
The processes used to manage project scope, as well as the supporting tools and techniques, can vary by project. The scope baseline for the project is the approved version of the project scope statement, work breakdown structure (WBS), and its associated WBS dictionary. A baseline can be changed only through formal change control procedures and is used as a basis for comparison while performing Validate Scope and Control Scope processes as well as other controlling processes.
55 Completion of the project scope is measured against the project management plan (Section 4.2.3.1). Completion of the product scope is measured against the product requirements (Section 5.2). The Project Scope Management processes need to be well integrated with the other Knowledge Area processes, so that the work of the project will result in delivery of the specified product scope.
