scope change control process A scope change procedure should be in place before the actual work on the project commences. It can be part of, or at least referenced in, the project charter so that it is communicated to all project stakeholders. This procedure should allow for the identification and handling of all requested changes to the project’s scope. Scope change requests can be made, and each request’s impact on the project can be assessed. A decision whether to accept or reject the scope change can be made.

Why is it important to define the project’s scope accurately and completely? a project’s scope defines all the work, activities, and deliverables that the project team must provide in order for the project to achieve its MOV. It is an impor-tant step in developing the project plan since one must know what work must be done before an estimate can be made of how long it will take and how much it will cost. clear definition of the project’s deliverables sets unambiguous expectations and agreement among all of the project stakeholders.
What is a scope boundary? What purpose does it serve? Defining the scope boundary is the first step to establishing what is, and what is not, part of the project work to be completed by the project team. To protect the project team from spending a great deal of time doing work and activities that will not help the project achieve its MOV
What is the difference between product-oriented deliverables and project-oriented deliverables? Project-Oriented Scope = Deliverables that support the project management and IT development processes defined in the Information Technology Project Methodology (ITPM). Examples: Business case, project charter and project plan, etc. Definition Tools: DDT & DSC Product-Oriented Scope = High-level features and functionality of the application system First cut for requirements definition that will be defined in greater detail during the systems development life cycle (SDLC) Examples Add new customer, look up customer balance, print daily sales report by region, etc. Definition Tools: DFD & UCD
How does a project’s scope support the MOV concept? -The deliverables or work products that must be completed in order to achieve the project's MOV. -Provides a boundary so that what needs to get done - gets done. -Otherwise, schedule and budget are increased for no reason -Defines what is part of the project team's work and what is not. -This also sets expectations for all of the project's stakeholders -Provides a link between the project's MOV and the project plan.
