Project Scope Management Assignment 1

Section A: Conceptual Understanding

Q1. Define Project Scope Management and Explain Its Importance


Project Scope Management involves defining, validating, and controlling what is and isn’t
included in a project. According to the PMBOK® Guide (PMI, 2021), it ensures that all
necessary work is completed without extraneous tasks.

Importance:
- Strategic Alignment with business goals
- Efficient Resource Use by avoiding redundant tasks
- Quality Control through well-defined boundaries
- Stakeholder Confidence via transparency
- Risk Mitigation against cost overruns and delays

Without proper scope management, projects are vulnerable to scope creep, unmet
expectations, and eventual failure.

Q2. Key Processes in Project Scope Management


The PMBOK® Guide outlines six core processes:
1. Plan Scope Management – Establishing how scope will be defined and controlled.
2. Collect Requirements – Gathering stakeholder expectations.
3. Define Scope – Creating a detailed scope statement.
4. Create WBS – Decomposing work into manageable units.
5. Validate Scope – Gaining formal stakeholder approval.
6. Control Scope – Monitoring and managing changes to scope baseline.

These processes promote clear communication, planning accuracy, and effective execution.

Q3. Difference Between Scope Creep and Scope Change Control


- Scope Creep: Unauthorized, undocumented scope expansion leading to delays, budget
overshoots, and quality decline.
- Scope Change Control: A structured process for reviewing, approving, and implementing
scope modifications.

Impacts of Scope Creep:


- Team burnout
- Loss of stakeholder trust
- Cost and timeline escalations

Thus, change control is essential for stability and project health.

Q4. Role of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)


WBS is a hierarchical decomposition of project deliverables. It:
- Ensures clarity of tasks
- Aids in time and cost estimation
- Improves responsibility assignment
- Acts as a foundation for monitoring and control

By breaking large projects into smaller tasks, WBS enhances management and reduces
ambiguity.

Q5. Tools and Techniques in Scope Definition


1. Expert Judgment – Involves consulting seasoned professionals to define scope
boundaries.
2. Facilitated Workshops – Stakeholder meetings to gather and refine scope requirements.
3. Product Analysis – Detailed examination of deliverables to define scope components.
