• Scope is the totality of the outputs, outcomes and benefits and the work required to produce them.

What steps do you take to establish scope?

• Review the requirements to ensure that they are complete, accurate, and consistent

• Identify your team and assets

• Gather, analysis, justifying requirements, and baseline needs
  

• Delegate clearly defined tasks

How do you manage scope through configuration management processes?

• Control and restrict access to configuaration items

• Planning, idenification, control, status accounting and audit.

What is the primary purpose of scope management?

• Ensuring the project includes all the work required, and only the work required, to complete the project successfully

How can project scope creep be effectively managed?

• By frequently changing the project scope to accommodate new requests

• A report on how close the team is to delivering the outcome of the project.

• A spreadsheet which details the return on investment of the project.

• An evaluation of individuals' contributions to the project
