Imagine a scenario where you have an extremely important project under your command and, with its fixed objective, you’re all set to make it a grand success. You have everything under control, your project mandate and your project charter looks amazing, your project management plan is in place, and you’re ready to go! But, when you thought everything was in place and working fine, you remember that you’ve missed one very crucial stage in your project management endeavor—the scope.
The scope of a project is as important as the project manager leading the project. Without a proper scope in place or a scope that fluctuates as the project runs into execution, your project can really turn into a detrimental disaster. When you speak about project scope, you will get to know that all the planning and assignment and allocation of resources takes place with this aspect of the project. Within Project Scope Management, you will have a set of processes that eventually leads you accurately and precisely define and map the scope of a project with regard to its objectives.
Putting into practice these processes or techniques will enable you as a project manager to space out and accurately plan the resources needed at different phases of the project, in a manner so as to ensure there’s no inflation of cost or delay in the timelines set.
In projects, there are a lot of factors that surface during the execution of the project and that needs to be dealt with during the project life cycle. With Project Scope Management, you will be able to ensure that you look at those requests or changes to the original plan with one hand on the original scope. This way as a project manager, you will be able to decide what is part of the project scope and what is not.
When you first hear the word scope, I am sure boundaries and limits or the reach of a particular entity passed your mind. In the world of project management, it surely sticks to the original meaning but can be accurately put as a set of deliverables of a project, planned in a way to achieve the ultimate project goal. These deliverables cascade from the requirements that in-turn comes from the objective of the project.
In PMBOK Verbatim, project scope is defined as:
“The work that needs to be accomplished to deliver a product, service, or result with specified features and functions.”
