PMP ITTO List - Part 2

Gurus,

Happy to see you again....

Scope management:

Scope management deals with the processes required to define what work is required and ensure that the project includes only that work required to complete the project. Involves managing both product scope and project scope.

Scope management processes:

Provides guidance on how project scope will be defined, documented, verified and controlled by management team. It has the following processes:

1) Collect Requirements,

2) Define Scope,

3) Create WBS,

4) Verify Scope, and

5) Control Scope.

Collect Requirements: Collecting scope of the product or project.

Inputs: Project Charter, Stakeholder Register

Tools and Techniques:

Interviews, Focus Groups, Facilitated Workshops, Group Creativity techniques, Group decision-making techniques, Questionnaires and surveys, Observations, Prototypes

Outputs: Requirement Document, Requirement Management Plan, Requirement Traceability Matrix

Define Scope: Dividing major project deliverables. Primarily concerns with what is and is not included in the project.

Inputs: Project Charter, Requirements Documents, Organizational Process Assets(OP)

Tools and Techniques: Expert Judgment, Product analysis, Alternative Identification, Facilitated Workshops

Verify Scope: To verify that the work done satisfies the scope of the project. Each phase of the product or project must be ending with verifying (inspecting) scope of it against the actual.

Project Management Plan, Requirements Document, Requirements Traceability matrix, Validated deliverable

Tools and Techniques: Inspection

Outputs: Accepted Deliverable, Change Requests, Project Documents Updates

Control Scope: focuses on the changes made to the scope statement.

Project Management plan, Work performance information, Requirements documentation, requirements traceability matrix, Organizational Process Assets(OP).

Work performance measurements, Organizational process assets updates(OP), change requests, project management plan updates, project document updates

You can save it in a spread sheet to read it easily. Since I am unable to embed spreadsheet columns here, I have posted it as a plain text.
