Create a scope management plan that documents how the project scope will be defined, validated, and controlled.
Provides guidance and direction on how the scope will be managed throughout the project.
The scope management plan is a component of the project or program management plan that describes how the scope will be defined, developed, monitored, controlled, and verified. The development of the scope management plan and the detailing of the project scope begins with the analysis of information contained in the project charter, the latest approved subsidiary plans of the project management plan, the historical information contained in the organizational process assets, and any other relevant enterprise environmental factors. This plan helps reduce the risk of project scope creep.
Identify Customer Deliverables
Identify Reusable Components
Project Manager shall understand the project’s scope, needs, opportunities and constraints to deliver the system and to execute commitments that satisfy the Business Group‘s expectations. The customer deliverables and commitments shall be clearly understood and identified as project objectives that determine the objectives for the system development. The Project Manager shall develop a product or system oriented top-level Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). This WBS helps to identify and organize the features and capabilities of the system being delivered to the Business Group as customer deliverables.
The Project Manager shall update the customer deliverables in PTS, ensuring consistency between the Project Plan and Project Tracking System (PTS). The deliverables to the Business Group, which are grouped as work packages, shall be the starting point to arrive at the detailed Project Plan.
Project Manager shall identify any reusable components, deliverables or work products of an existing solution that can be reused for this project, based on data available for similar project types and also based on any reuse strategy as developed by the IO organization. The Project Manager shall document such information in the Project Plan. The Project Manager may also be required to create a plan for developing reusable components while executing the current project, which could be reused by similar projects in the future.
