Project Scope Management
The main planning tasks include collecting requirements, defining scope, and creating the WBS
requirement
a condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a system, product, service, result, or
component to satisfy a contract, standard, specification, or other formal document
A requirements management plan & A requirements traceability matrix (RTM),
Outputs of Collecting Requirements
A requirements management plan
describes how project requirements will be analyzed, documented and managed
requirements traceability matrix (RTM)
is a table that lists requirements, various attributes of each requirement, and the status of the
requirements to ensure that all of them are addressed
organizational process assets
policies and procedures related to project management, past project files, and lessons-learned reports
from previous, similar projects)
scope creep
A good, up-to-date scope statement helps prevent _______, which is the tendency for project scope to
continually increase
WBS
is a deliverable-oriented grouping of the work involved in a project that defines the total scope of the
project
WBS dictionary
a document that describes each WBS task in detail

scope baseline
The approved project scope statement and its associated WBS and WBS dictionary form
the_____.Performance in meeting project scope goals is based on _____.
activity list
a tabulation of activities to be included on a project schedule. It should include the activity name, an
activity identifier or number, and a brief description of the activity
activity attributes
provide schedule-related information about each activity, such as predecessors, successors, logical
relationships, leads and lags, resource requirements, constraints, imposed dates, and assumptions
related to the activity
activity list & activity attributes
Both should be in agreement with the WBS and WBS dictionary and be reviewed by key project
stakeholders
milestone
is a significant event in a project
It often takes several activities and a lot of work to complete.
usually no cost or duration
Specific
Measurable
Assignable
Realistic
Time-framed
SMART
Sequencing activities
involves reviewing the activity list and attributes, project scope statement, and milestone list to
determine the relationships or dependencies between activities
