Scope
Scope Definition
Scope can be elaborated using?
(SS, AC, D, T)
- a scope statement to identify the major deliverables

Scope Definition
What is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables?
WBS
Scope Definition
What represent large groups of customer value reflected as user stories associated by a common factor, such as functionality, data source, or security level?

At the last responsible moment to avoid wasteful planning should the scope change.
Scope Definition
What are three different ways to describe componet or project completion?
- Acceptance or completion criteria
- Technical performance measures
- Definition of done
Scope Definition
What is the criteria required to be met before the customer accepts the deliverable or before the project is considered complete are often documented in a scope statement?
Acceptance or completion criteria
Scope Definition
What is the technical specifications for a product may be documented in a separate specifications document, or they may be documented as an extension to the WBS?
Technical performance measures.
This extension, known as a WBS dictionary, elaborates the information for each deliverable (work package) in the WBS.
Scope Definition

What refers to the phenomenon where the project goal of “done” moves further away the longer the project takes to complete?
Done Drift
This can happen when the initial set of capabilities and features of a product are increased to stay relevant with the market, which can push the launch date further out. As competitors continue to launch similar products with even more capabilities, a decision must be made whether to release the product as is or continue to update the features prior to launch. Ex - mobile devices, wearable devices
Moving Targets of Completion
pg 85
What is it called when additional scope or requirements are accepted without adjusting the corresponding schedule, budget, or resource needs?
Scope Creep
Moving Targets of Completion
Project teams use a change control system where all changes are evaluated for the potential value they bring to the project and the potential resources, time, and budget needed to realize the potential value to combat ….
Scope Creep
The project team then presents the changes to the project governance body, product owner, or executive sponsor for formal approval.
