The Project Management Tool Kit: 100 Tips and Techniques for Getting the Job Done Right

Assemble Deliverable Data

Collect project information that emerges from the project initiation process. Input data for scope planning include:

• Project objective statement

• Project charter

• Constraints and assumptions

• High-level deliverable definitions

Involve the core team and others as needed to review the available information.

Assess project data for completeness, considering aspects such as:

• User needs assessment

• Regulatory, legal, and standards compliance

• Analysis of alternatives and competition

• Measurable performance and other goals

• Delivery, support, installation, distribution, and other logistical issues

• Technical and other risks

Document what is known about each project deliverable, and identify data gaps.
