Project Scope Statements

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)
