Project Scope Management

Processes that ensure the project includes all the work required, and only the work required, to complete successfully.

Definition

Processes are Plan Scope Management, Collect Requirements, Define Scope, Create WBS, Validate Scope, and Control Scope. In adaptive projects scope is defined and approved in iterations through the backlog.

Example

The team uses the WBS to confirm no reporting work was omitted.

Exam tip

'Only the work required' means gold plating is a scope violation.
