Managing Project Scope
Scope is the way that we describe the boundaries of a project. Without proper scope definition, you have no chance to manage scope effectively. When a project is defined, certain expectations are set as to what the project will achieve for an agreed upon cost and within an agreed upon timeframe. If the deliverables of the product change, the estimates for cost, effort and duration may need to change as well. That is really the purpose of scope change management - to ensure that the initial agreements are met, and that the project manager and the sponsor agree to any changes to the expectations. Effective scope management is the art of getting the sponsor to make the decisions on whether scope change requests should be approved.
