Project Management basics - 5.6 CONTROL SCOPE

Question 1

Control Scope is the process of monitoring the status of the project and which of the following?

a. Scope creep and deliverables
b. Approved change requests and document updates
c. Product scope and changes to the scope baseline.
d. Product deliverables

Answer 1

c. Product scope and changes to the scope baseline.

Control Scope is the process of monitoring the status of the project and product scope and managing changes to the scope baseline. The key benefit of this process is that the scope baseline is maintained throughout the project. Control Scope is also used to manage the actual changes when they occur and is integrated with the other control processes.

See Section 5.6 Control Scope

c. Change requests

Outputs:

• Work performance information;
• Change requests;
• Project management plan updates ( scope management plan, scope baseline, schedule baseline, cost baseline, performance measurement baseline);
• Project documents updates ( lessons learned register, requirements documentation, requirements traceability matrix),

c. Schedule network analysis
d. Reserve analysis

Answer 7

b. Data analysis

Control Scope & Tools:
- data analysis ( variance analysis, trend analysis).

Question 8

What is the purpose of the Control Scope process?

Answer 8

The purpose of the Control Scope process is to monitor the status of the project scope and manage change to the scope baseline.

The key benefit of this process is:

• The scope baseline is maintained throughout the project.
• Ensure that all requested changes and corrective or preventive actions are performed through the Perform Integrated Change Control process.
