Project Scope, Schedule and Resource Management

What is the Scope management?

Scope management is the process of defining what work is required and then making sure all of that work – and only that work – is done. Scope management plan should include the detailed process of scope determination, its management, and its control.

Scope Management Process:

• Collect Requirements: Determining and documenting stakeholder needs 
• Define Scope: Developing detailed description of project and product 
• Create WBS: Subdividing project deliverables and project work into smaller, more manageable parts

The purpose of Scope Management is to ensure the project includes all the work required, and only the work required, for completing the project successfully. In scope management, the emphasis is on identifying and controlling what is or is not included in the project.

What is the Work breakdown structure?

A work breakdown structure (WBS) is a key project deliverable that organizes the team's work into manageable sections. The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) defines the work breakdown structure as a "deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team.
