Introduction:
Proper scope definition is critical to ensuring success in all areas of a project. Without a well-defined scope, the development and definition of all the other project elements are left to chance (e.g., Cost, Time, Quality). During the project, when change occurs, maintaining the scope is crucial to ensure appropriate project integration. The Scope Management processes and procedures must also be well-defined to prevent scope creep, cost overruns, and missing schedule deadlines.
In this project scope management tools and techniques course, participants will learn techniques to more clearly define the scope and create manageable scope management processes. The training will also allow participants to understand why project scope management is important and how it works closely with project integration and change control processes.
