During this evening presentation (Wednesday: 9.00pm-11.20pm), there are many of you didn't mention about the project scope statements. Project scope statements are very important while building your WBS. Project scope statement is one of the key input in WBS together with 'Requirements Documentations' and 'Organizational Process Asset'.
A detailed project scope statements contains six elements:
1. product scope description (details all the features and function a product must have)
2. project deliverables (details all the work that needs to be done to complete the project)
3. product acceptance criteria (outline the requirement the project must meed before stakeholders accept the final product or service)
4. project constraints (specify the limitations and restrictions the project faces)
5. project assumption (factor that are considered to be true about a project)
6. project exclusions (clearly stipulate what is not included in the project)
Questions?
How do the elements of project scope statements contribute to creating the WBS?
Answers?
-project deliverables assist in identifying what tasks should be included in the WBS
-the product scope description assists in the process of breaking down deliverables in the WBS
-project exclusions help identifying what tasks are not appropriate to include in the WBS

ReplyDeleteEn Megat, i'm not really understand the product acceptance criteria..how to differentiate it with product scope and assumptions?
ReplyDeleteFika, 'Product Acceptance Criteria' is the activities that take place in 'Closing Processes': Acceptance criteria represents a specific and defined list of conditions that must be met before a project has been considered completed and the project deliverables can and will be accepted by the assigning party.
ReplyDeleteAcceptance criteria can represent certain essential requirements that must be met within the final deliverables themselves, or specific conditions that must be met during the process in which those deliverables are assembled and completed.
In providing a series of acceptance criteria to the assignee, the assigning party should when possible prioritize the acceptance criteria. In the event that a series of acceptance criteria is not met, or is met only partially, the final set of deliverables can either be refused for acceptance outright or, in some cases, it may be assigned the status of conditional acceptance, that being, an acceptance pending modification or correction to better meet the acceptance criteria.
What about product scope? you tell me..
