In project management, scope is the defined features and functions of a product, or the scope of work needed to finish a project. [1] Scope involves getting information required to start a project, including the features the product needs to meet its stakeholders' requirements. [2] [3]: 116 Project scope is oriented towards the work required ...
Scope of work: This describes the work to be done and specifies the hardware and software involved. The definition of scope becomes the scope statement. [7] Location of work: This describes where the work is to be performed, including the location of hardware and software and where people will meet to do the work.
A scope statement should be written before the statement of work and it should capture, in very broad terms, the product of the project (e.g., "developing a software-based system to capture and track orders for software"). A scope statement should also include the list of users using the product, as well as the features in the resulting product ...
The quality of work is constrained by the project's budget, deadlines and scope (features). The project manager can trade between constraints. Changes in one constraint necessitate changes in others to compensate or quality will suffer. For example, a project can be completed faster by increasing budget or cutting scope.
vision, objectives, scope and deliverables (i.e. what has to be achieved) stakeholders, roles and responsibilities (i.e. who will take part in it) resource, financial and quality plans (i.e. how it will be achieved) work breakdown structure and schedule (i.e. when it will be achieved) TORs could include: [3] success factors, risks and constraints.
The adjacent figure shows a work breakdown structure construction technique that demonstrates the 100% rule and the "progressive elaboration" technique. At WBS Level 1 it shows 100 units of work as the total scope of a project to design and build a custom bicycle. At WBS Level 2, the 100 units are divided into seven elements.
A change order is work that is added to or deleted from the original scope of work of a contract. Depending on the magnitude of the change, it may or may not alter the original contract amount and/or completion date. A change order may force a new project to handle significant changes to the current project. [2]
The project can spend 50% of the budget, whilst finishing only 25% of the work, which would mean the project is not doing well; or the project can spend 50% of the budget, whilst completing 75% of the work, which would mean that project is doing better than planned. EVM is meant to address such and similar issues.
