Scoping a project is a dynamic process that presents project
managers with a range of challenges. It appears that inexperienced project managers
struggle with the concept, while the ones with relative experience make a
number of assumptions and estimations.
Scope definition requires input from stakeholders in
developing project objectives that will be reflected in the project charter.
Clarity between expectation and the project’s final output/s is of importance
during the scoping process.
Addressing the fundamental aspects of time, cost and quality
as part of a project’s life-cycle becomes a critical role of the scoping stage.
Project managers are expected to investigate, assess, correctly justify, and
seek approval for any project parameter at this early stage, in order to avoid
scope creep in the future. The scoping process will be formalised with the
sign-off from the project sponsor.
