What is Project Scope Management?Create a WBS for building a new Internet Cafe on the Kingwood Lonestar Campus.
Be sure to have level 1 and level 2 categories and create a Gantt Chart to reflect these. You may use the template from the resources section or download your own from the internet. You will estimate the time intervals for work to be conducted. (use your imagination
Heres the chapter relate to the question
Chapter 5:
Project Scope Management
Planning Scope Management
How to prepare a detailed project scope statement
How to create a WBS
How to maintain and approve the WBS
How to obtain formal acceptance of the completed project deliverables
How to control requests for changes to the project scope
Scope Management Plan Contents
The requirements management plan documents how project requirements will be analyzed, documented, and managed
Defining Scope
A WBS is a deliverable-oriented grouping of the work involved in a project that defines the total scope of the project
WBS is a foundation document that provides the basis for planning and managing project schedules, costs, resources, and changes
Decomposition is subdividing project deliverables into smaller pieces
A work package is a task at the lowest level of the WBS
The scope baseline includes the approved project scope statement and its associated WBS and WBS dictionary
Creating the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
WBS Organized by Phase
Intranet WBS and Gantt Chart
The analogy approach: Review WBSs of similar projects and tailor to your project
The top-down approach: Start with the largest items of the project and break them down
The bottom-up approach: Start with the specific tasks and roll them up
Mind-mapping approach: Mind mapping is a technique that uses branches radiating out from a core idea to structure thoughts and ideas
Approaches to Developing WBSs
Global warming mindmap
Many WBS tasks are vague and must be explained more so people know what to do and can estimate how long it will take and what it will cost to do the work
A WBS dictionary is a document that describes detailed information about each WBS item
WBS Dictionary
It is very difficult to create a good scope statement and WBS for a project
It is even more difficult to verify project scope and minimize scope changes
Scope validation involves formal acceptance of the completed project deliverables
Acceptance is often achieved by a customer inspection and then sign-off on key deliverables
Validating Scope
Scope control involves controlling changes to the project scope
Goals of scope control are to
◦influence the factors that cause scope changes
◦assure changes are processed according to procedures developed as part of integrated change control, and
◦manage changes when they occur
Variance is the difference between planned and actual performance
Controlling Scope
Develop and follow a requirements management process
Use techniques such as prototyping, use case modeling, and JAD to get more user involvement
Put requirements in writing and keep them current
Create a requirements management database for documenting and controlling requirements
Suggestions for Reducing Incomplete and Changing Requirements
Project scope management includes the processes required to ensure that the project addresses all the work required, and only the work required, to complete the project successfully
Main processes include
◦Define scope management
◦Collect requirements
◦Define scope
◦Create WBS
◦Validate scope
◦Control scope
