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

Document Scope

Write a high-level scope statement that includes a brief description of all project deliverables.

For each deliverable, specify:

• What it is, and what it is not

• Needed functionality

• Interface and usability requirements

• Quantitative standards for performance and reliability

• Documentation, training, and support needs

• Acceptance tests

Document the scope management process (or adopt an existing one) that will be used for scope change control throughout the project.
