Frequently Asked Questions

What is a project scope?

A project scope defines what work is included in a project and what is excluded. It captures the project objectives, deliverables, in-scope items, out-of-scope items, assumptions, constraints and acceptance criteria - serving as the foundation for planning, execution and change control.

What should a project scope statement include?

A complete scope statement includes project objectives, deliverables, in-scope items (specific work included), out-of-scope items (specific work excluded), assumptions, constraints, acceptance criteria, key stakeholders and approval signatures.

What is scope creep?

Scope creep is the gradual addition of work to a project without corresponding adjustments to time, budget or resources. It's one of the leading causes of project failure - and is best prevented by clear initial scope plus disciplined change control for any additions.

How do you write a project scope?

Start with the project objectives and what success looks like. List specific deliverables. Be explicit about what's in scope - and equally explicit about what's out. Document assumptions and constraints. Define clear acceptance criteria. Get formal sign-off from sponsors before work begins.

What is the difference between project scope and project requirements?

Project scope defines the boundaries - what's in and out of the project. Requirements describe the specific features, functions or attributes that scope items must have. Scope answers "what work?"; requirements answer "what specifically does the work need to do?"
