Chapter 7: Scope Management
In this chapter, you will review the knowledge area of project scope management in both the planning process group and the monitoring and controlling process group. You will begin with the scope management plan, which describes how the scope of work will be planned, executed, monitored, and controlled. Then you will cover the requirements management plan, which will outline the processes of gathering requirements and executing them. Then you will review why a comprehensive scope statement is the most critical scope document. Once the requirements have been collected and approved, the most important planning document, the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is created. After this, the scope of work will need to be formally approved through the Validate Scope process and scope creep controlled via the Control Scope process. Both are important aspects of gaining approval on the deliverables and being able to control scope creep.
