Scope Flashcards
When is agile scope planning especially useful?
Many environments with emerging requirements find there is often a gap between the real business requirements and the business requirements that were originally stated. Therefore, agile methods purposefully build and review prototypes and release versions in order to refine the requirements. As a result, scope is defined and redefined throughout the project.
In predictive projects, the scope baseline for the project is the approved version of which document?
In predictive projects, the scope baseline for the project is the approved version of the project scope statement, work breakdown structure, and its associated WBS dictionary.
What is the product scope?
The product scope is the features and functions of a product, service or result
What is a requirement?
A requirement is a condition or capability that should be present in a product, service or result to satisfy specifications
What is a project scope?
A project scope is the work performed to deliver a product, service or result with the specified features and functions
What are the six project management processes that belong to project scope management?
Create work breakdown structure
Collect requirements
Define scope
Plan scope management
Validate scope
Control scope
What is the scope management plan?
The scope management plan is part of the project management plan and documents how the project and the project scope will be defined, developed, monitored, controlled and validated.
The key benefit of this process is that it provides guidance on how scope will be managed throughout the project.
What is the requirements traceability matrix?
It is a grid that links product requirements from that origin to the deliverables that satisfy them. The implementation of a requirements traceability matrix helps ensure that each requirement adds business value by linking it to the business and project objectives. It provides a means to ensure that requirements approved in the requirements documentation are delivered at the end of the project.

Describe the collect requirements process
Determining, documenting, and managing stakeholder needs and requirements to meet objectives
What is the main purpose of the stakeholder register?
To identify stakeholders who can provide information on requirements
What is the project scope statement?
The project scope statement is the description of the project scope and the major deliverables. The project scope statement documents the entire scope including project and product scope. It describes the project’s deliverables in detail. It also provides a common understanding of the project scope among project stakeholders, it may contain explicit scope exclusions that can assist in managing stakeholder expectations.
