What is Project Scope

Management?
Project Scope Management includes the
processes required to ensure that the project
includes all the work required, and only the
work required, to complete the project
successfully. Managing the project scope is
primarily concerned with defining and
controlling what is and is not included in the
project.

Projects Vary in Size and Scope

NASA shuttle launch

Building a boat
Building a hospital
Building renovation and & space modification
Planning a party or wedding
Organizing the Olympic games
Developing a new software program
Getting a university degree
Company mergers

Project Scope Management Processes

Scope Need Requirements The process of defining
and documenting clients needs to meet the project
objectives.
Scope Definition The process of developing a
detailed description of the project and product and
subdividing the major project deliverables into smaller,
more manageable components.
Scope Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) The
process of subdividing project deliverables and project
work into smaller and manageable components..
Scope Verification The process of formalizing
acceptance of the project scope.
Scope Control The process of controlling changes to
project scope.

Procedure in The Need Requirement

Interviews
An interview is a formal or informal approach to discover
information from stakeholders by talking to them directly.
Focus groups Discusion (FGD)
Focus group bring together prequalified stakeholders and
subject matter experts to learn about their expectations and
attitudes about the project.
Group creativity technique
Brainstroming
The Delphi Technique
Idea/Mind mapping
Group Decision making
An assessment process of multiple alternatives with expected
outcome in the form of future action resolutions

SCOPE
DEFINITION
PHASE

Procedure in The Definition Phase

Basic Research
For better definition, analysis and selection of needs, of the
owner.
Preparation of scope statement
Forms the basis for initial scope development and helps the
attention on the problem of scope management
Preparation of a initial scope document
Provides guidelines, forms an outline for a better definition of
scope and helps to detect mistakes early on and helps a good
technical scope document
Technical Scope Document
Forms the basis for the detailed designs and engineering of the
project

Formation of Scope Development Team

The basic function of the scope development
team is to do some preliminary research and
gather information for the project to be
undertaken.
The team is formed to do research and
prepare the scope documents

Formation of Scope Development Team

Need Definition
The first step is to define the needs for which the
project is to be built. Base on these needs the
functional requirements of the project should be
determined.
In this step the input of the owner and the end
users is very important.
Need definition is the foundation of the project

Formation of Scope Development Team

Option Search
The second step is to gather all the ideas that can
fulfill these needs, and deliver the required
functionality. This is where survey of historical
records, current academic research, experimental
research being done can help to take full benefit
of the existing knowledge of construction and
related activities.

Formation of Scope Development Team

Analysis of Options
After all the ideas are presented. They should be
compared with the needs and decisions taken as
to which of the ideas is better suited for the needs.
In this step use of computer graphics and
simulation techniques can help to better analyze
the options.

Formation of Scope Development Team

Collecting Information
The fourth step is to see how the selected option
will be carried out and what are its requirements.
This steps includes method study and industry
environment scan.
The historical data bases combined with
geographical information systems, the equipment
capability and labor use data can be used to
generate time sequenced simulations to get a
better insight to the requirements of the options.

Scope Statement
The scope statement should include broad
description of what is to be covered in the
works.
The format and its presentation should be
such that is should be a clear
communication between the various players
of the extent and nature of the project.

Scope Statement
Statement of Work
A brief description of overall scope.
It should specify the type of facility its units and
subunits and the intended functionality they are
expected to deliver.

Organization of Work
An outline of how the items specified in the statement
of work are to be carried out.
It should also state whether the project is to
conventionally built or fast track.

Scope Statement
Statement of Work
SCOPE OF WORK

Providing all cost and expenses for the labor,

materials, equipment, tools and supplies
necessary and other incidental expenses for the
successful completion of the construction works
in accordance with the plan hereto attached.

Scope Statement
Requirements of Work
Requirements of work scan over the basic feasibility
of the project units and subunits.
The requirements should be properly and clearly
specified in the scope statement.
The requirement include the overview of the basic
financial, physical and regulatory constraints.

Overall Objectives
An outline of how the items specified in the statement
of work are to be carried out.
It should also state whether the project is to
conventionally built or fast track.

Scope Statement
Critical objective
Critical objectives are the minimum desired
functionality expected from the project. The
fulfillment and approval of these determines whether
the project will move ahead or be abandoned.

Control Philosophy
The type of organization control systems and the
policy should be specified

Performance Specifications
The performance specifications of the equipment to e
used is to be specified

Scope Statement
Repair and maintenance standard
Apart from the functionality the equality which the
project is to deliver should also be specified by
specifying the repairs and maintenance standards..

Contingency Policy
The scope statement should include a contingency
policty. This policy should be comprehnsive policty in
the start including in it the policy for allownances and
management reserves.
