Course Description
According to the PMBOK Guide, Project Scope Management is primarily concerned with defining and controlling what is and is not included in the project.
This course equips learners with the skills necessary to ensure that the project includes all the work required, and only the work required, to complete the project successfully.
The course content is applicable to project management across various industries and sectors, enabling the application of Project Scope Management across different project application areas.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, learners will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the following Project Scope Management processes:
- Plan Scope Management. The process of creating a scope management plan that documents how the project and product scope will be defined, validated, and controlled.
- Collect Requirements. The process of determining, documenting, and managing stakeholder needs and requirements to meet project objectives.
- Define Scope. The process of developing a detailed description of the project and product.
- Create WBS. The process of subdividing project deliverables and project work into smaller, more manageable components.
- Validate Scope. The process of formalizing acceptance of the completed project deliverables.
- Control Scope. The process of monitoring the status of the project and product scope and managing changes to the scope baseline.
Key Concepts
The key concepts for Project Scope Management include:
- Project life cycles range along a continuum from predictive to adaptive or agile.
- In a life cycle that uses a predictive approach, the project deliverables are defined at the beginning of the project and changes to the scope are progressively managed.
- In an adaptive or agile approach, the deliverables are developed over multiple iterations where a detailed scope is defined and approved at the beggining of each iteration.
- Completion of the project scope is measured against the project management plan.
- Completion of the product scope is measured against the product requirements.
