As a PM, SP, RQ, I can update scope statement

The project scope statement is the description of the project scope, major deliverables, assumptions, and constraints. It provides a common understanding of the project scope among project stakeholders. It may contain explicit scope exclusions that can assist in managing stakeholder expectations. It guides the project team’s work during execution and provides the baseline for evaluating whether requests for changes or additional work are contained within or outside the project boundaries. ****

Project Manager (PM), also PMO, PMA, PfM and PgM, Requester (RQ), Sponsor (SP) can update the project scope statement at PLAN > Plan Scope > Project Scope Statement:

  • Product scope description: The product scope description progressively elaborates the characteristics of the product, service, or result described in the project charter and requirements documentation.
  • Main Deliverables: Deliverables are unique and verifiable products, results, or capabilities to perform a service that are required to be produced to complete a process, phase, or project. They also include ancillary results, such as project management reports and documentation. These deliverables may be described at a summary level or in great detail.
  • Acceptance Criteria: A set of conditions that is required to be met before deliverables are accepted.
  • Project exclusions: Identify what is excluded from the project. Explicitly stating what is out of scope for the project helps manage stakeholders’ expectations and can reduce scope creep.

  • Project Constraints: Limiting factors that affect the execution of the project.
