Before we get into what makes up the scope statement, this is a good point to circle back and see how far we’ve come. Even though much of this is easier said than done, we have covered a lot of the information that you would need to create a detailed scope statement. We may have been contributors to the business case, we were probably utilized as expert judgment on the creation of the project charter, we have identified stakeholders and what their levels of interest and impact are on our project, and we have collected requirements.
There is a reason that the project scope statement is considered the most important scope document, because you will be using the scope statement to very specifically detail major deliverables and confirm scope understanding with stakeholders.
