Elements of project scope management
1. Conceptual Development
2. Scope Statement
3. Work Authorization
4.Scope Reporting
5. Control Systems
5. Project Closeout
Conceptual development
is the process that addresses project objectives by finding the best ways to meet them:
Problem Statement:
- Reduction of overall project complexity
- Goals and objects are clearly stated
Information Gathering
Constraints
Alternative analysis
project objectives
statement of work (SOW):
detailed narrative description of the work required for a project
SOW contains:
- Introduction and background
- Technical description
- Timeline and milestones
- Client expectations
2.Scope statement
creating the documentations and approval of all important parameters. -> project charter
Work breakdown structres
a process that sets a projects scope by breaking down its overall mission into a cohesive set of synchronous increasingly specific tasks.
A WBS also provides the necessary framework for detailed cost estimating and control along with providing guidance for schedule development and control.[
Defining Workpackages
In project management, a work package (WP) is a subset of a project that can be assigned to a specific part for execution. Because of the similarity, work packages are often misidentified as projects.
Work packages are defined by brief statements of Activity Description, Activity Resources of Skill and Expertise, Activity Estimates of Effort and Duration, Activity Schedule, Activity Risks, and Activity Budget. Work Packages are assigned a Work Authorization or Control Account.[1]
Estimates of work packages are used in Earned Value Management to calculate the Planned Value. Progress made in the work package is used to calculate the Earned Value. Actual costs charged to the work package are used in variance analysis.
Organisational breakdown structure
Outcome of WBS
define the work to be accomplished and assign it to the owners of the work packages.
- work definition
- owner assignemtn of work packages
- budget assignment to departments.
Work authorization
formal "go ahead"
