Plan Scope Management

[three_fourth]
Plan Scope Management is part of the “Scope Management” Knowledge Area, and is part of the “Planning” Process Group.

Plan Scope Management is the process of creating a scope management plan that documents how the project scope will be defined, validated, and controlled. The key benefit of this process is that it provides guidance and direction on how scope will be managed throughout the project.

The scope management plan is a component of the project or program management plan that describes how the scope will be defined, developed, monitored, controlled, and verified. The development of the scope management plan and the detailing of the project scope begin with the analysis of information contained in the project charter (Section 4.1.3.1), the latest approved subsidiary plans of the project management plan (Section 4.2.3.1), historical information contained in the organizational process assets (Section 2.1.4), and any other relevant enterprise environmental factors (Section 2.1.5). This plan helps reduce the risk of project scope creep.
