Mohammad Aminul Islam (11103812)

Objectives
Good project scope management
Scope planning process
Scope management plan
Work breakdown structure
Scope verification
Scope control

Scope Management?
What work needed to complete the project
What is included the project
What work do not need to complete the
project objectives
It gives point of reference what is not
include the project

Scope?
Product scope
In product scope, talking about features
and function which is require for the
product

Project scope
Necessary work for delivering the
product with the specific features and
function

Processes of scope
management
Initiation
Beginning of the project, checking practical demand of
the project
Define scope
According to the requirement develop the details
documentation of the project for future project decision.
Create WBS
Subdividing the major project into smaller, more
manageable components

Verify Scope
Formal acceptance of the project

Control Scope
Changes of the project scope

Initiation
New project or existing project?
Importance
Busisess benifited?
Customer benifited?
High demand ?
What is the Future?

Example: IT Project

Decision

Define Scope
This is a written project contract form
where mention project name, contact
person, roles, project objectives,
deadlines, special conditions etc.
This is the key document to understand
the project purpose
Output from the planning process, such as
risk, can influence the project
Past project experience can be input for
this stage

Example: Project Charter

Creating Work Breakdown

structure
A WBS is a deliverable-oriented grouping
of the work involved in a project that
defines the total scope of the project.
Decomposition is subdividing project
deliverables into smaller pieces.
This is not a list of activities

A sample WBS structure for a

technology project

Decomposition
This is the process of breaking down
the major project deliverables into
smaller, manageable components
The major deliverable components
should be identified
Identify the deliverable constituent
components
Verify the decomposition

Decomposition

Approaches to Developing
WBS
Top Down Approaches
Start with the big item of the project
and divided them down

Bottom up approache
Start with a specific task and roll them
up

Mind mapping structure

First write task non linear branching
format and then break them

Mind mapping approach

In chart form

Importance of WBS
Serves the project scope baseline
Most important project management tools
Foundation of project planning, estimating and
control
Overview of the entire project
Work not included in the WBS
Keep the project on track
Allow accurate time and cost estimates

Where WBS can use

WBS is an input for five core processes

Scope Verification
Verify the project scope
Inspection
Work result
Product documentation
WBS
Scope statement
Project Plan

Inspection
Product Documentation
Plan
Specification
Technical Documentation
Drawing
Blueprints
Project work
Reviews
Product reviews
Audits

Acceptance
The scope has been verified
Formal process that require signed
documentation for the acceptance

Control Scope
Involves controlling changes to the project scope.
Manage changes when they occur.
Changes should be meaningful and useful
After changes should consider other control
processes
Time
Cost
Quality
etc.

Software to Assist in
Project Scope
Management

Scope Document- word processing

software
Estimate cost- Spreadsheet
Scope information- email, web
WBS, Gannt chart- Project
management software

Conclusion
Knowledge about project scope
management is very important for getting
any new project. When any company want
to do something they expect project
proposal from different company. Good
project proposal will give you more
changes to get the project. Project
proposal are related to project scope
