Scoping a project



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.
