PROJECT SCOPE MANAGEMENT
Scope affects the TIME needed and COST and the RESOURCES needed so it has a major impact on planning
This in turn affects the relationship between Expectations and Deliverables
Project Charter does not clear the details of project requirements so PM get clearance from stakeholder and sponsor as COLLECT REQUIREMENT
Validated requirement --- Define Scope In and Out of project
Work Breakdown Structure --- Graphical Version of scope
When the Execution is complete check the deliverable against Scope Statement, the WBS and approved change requests. This is VERIFY SCOPE

A
project is successful
when it meets the
expectations of the stakeholders.
•
The
Project Charter
gives the Project Manager
the authority to lead the project and also describes
the expectations of the sponsor.
•
The Project Management Plan
is a plan
about how the project will be managed. This is
distinct from a project plan, which describes the
actual work to be done.
•
Changes
will always happen and the Integrated
Change Control Process allows this to be managed
in a structured way.
•
Closure
is important as a signal to everybody that
the project life cycle has ended. The closure
processes also include Lessons Learned. Closure
processes can also be applied to phases,
sub-projects and programs.
