management plan of another project as a starting point, because <strong>the Scope Management processes<\/strong> do not vary dramatically once the organization has opted for a <strong>successful method of working.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scope management process planning<\/strong> includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>preparing a detailed project

stage, it is necessary to gather what are <strong>the needs of the stakeholders<\/strong> with the intent of <strong>achieving the project goals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this process, managers use different <strong>techniques and tools in order to gather the requirements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this process is executed in a complete and correct manner, it can greatly reduce the possibility of unpleasant surprises as the project progresses towards completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\"

want<\/strong> <strong>from the project.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once found out, requirements must be documented and <strong>stakeholder expectations<\/strong> must be properly managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an important step, since it may happen that what is required is not realistic or achievable due to other <strong>project constraints,<\/strong> such as cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The output of the work <\/strong>of gathering requirements is a documented set of requirements to be integrated into a <strong>project scope document<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this stage, it may be useful to use a project management tool that allows you to enter all the requirements associated with the project, including the documents generated as output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"defining\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scope Management: Defining the project scope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here the requirements and the needs are transformed into a <strong>detailed description of the product or service<\/strong> that the project will create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The output will be a <strong>declaration of the scope of the project<\/strong> that can be referred throughout the entire <strong>project life cycle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The document will also include a list of what is in scope and what is out of scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scope clearly indicates what the project is supposed to achieve and what not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"wbs\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scope Management: Creating the Work Breakdown Structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This process transforms the list of requirements into a <strong>structured view<\/strong> of what needs to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main work here is the subdivision of large tasks into smaller and more manageable blocks, called<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/work-packages-relation-wbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">work packages<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result of this process is the so-called<strong> Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WBS is an important element of the scope management process and the <strong>PMI <\/strong>places great emphasis on this aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many project managers often skip this step leading to inaccurate plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resulting WBS should provide a complete list of all the work packages required <strong>to complete the project successfully.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At Twproject, we have introduced an easy and intuitive WBS creation tool to help project managers perform this step with ease. There is no need to leave the context in which the requirements have been entered and the final document has been attached.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/WBS.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"validating\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"blog-drawings-box\">\n<!-- Alternative colors: add class to flex_column_table [yellow, violet] -->\n<div class=\"flex_column_table yellow \">\n<div class=\"flex_column photo_column\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/blog-drawing-kanban.png\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column text_column\">\n<div>\n<h3>Would you like to give it a go?<\/h3>\n<p>From entering requirements to drafting the WBS, Twproject helps you from the initial phase of the project through to its completion.<\/p>\n<a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/demo.twproject.com\/applications\/teamwork\/welcome\/createUserEnvironment.jsp\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Try it now!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scope Management:\u00a0Validating the project scope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This process focuses primarily on the <strong>acceptance of the project by the client.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple terms, it is when the <strong>client of the project<\/strong> formally accepts all the results of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/scope-management-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"scope management 1\" class=\"wp-image-10733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/scope-management-1-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/scope-management-1-1-630x412.jpg 630w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/scope-management-1-1-705x461.jpg 705w, https:\/\/twproject.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/scope-management-1-1-450x294.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This process occurs at the end of each phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure <strong>consistent and traceable work<\/strong>, it is essential to know who will approve a<strong>finished product <\/strong>and according to what criteria, in order to evaluate the <strong>success or failure of the result, <\/strong>so as to keep the<strong>scope of the project defined<\/strong> without ambiguity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"checking\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scope Management:\u00a0Checking the project scope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This process involves <strong>the evaluation of additional requirements<\/strong> by the client or <strong>the proactive observation of the project&#8217;s scope<\/strong> by the project manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Managers measure the work product with respect to the forecast in order <strong>to ensure that the project remains on track<\/strong>, helping <strong>to prevent any unnecessary modifications.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This phase therefore involves <strong>monitoring the status of the project<\/strong> and <strong>managing any changes to the scope.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a name=\"pitfalls\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some pitfalls of Scope Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The problems that may arise during the definition and <strong>documentation of the project scope<\/strong> are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><em>Ambiguity<\/em><\/strong>: ambiguity often leads to unnecessary work and confusion.
