Cascada board needs to approve significant contract changes, such as our role as prime contractor, so we need to provide an executive summary to the proposal that contains a scope summary and a management team resume. The team resume should give a brief biography of each team member, identifying the experience and skills you bring to the team.

About Project Scope Statements

A scope statement is used to define the project by detailing a project's major deliverables, key objectives, and the work required to generate those deliverables. The scope statement describes the complexity and magnitude of the project and accounts for all the work, time, and cost needed to complete the project successfully. As work progresses and new issues arise, the scope statement serves as the constant basis for future project decisions [PMBOK Guide 5.3.3.1].

Project scope description

The requirements of the product, service, or result described in the project charter and requirement documentation

Acceptance criteria

The process and criteria for accepting completed products

Deliverables

A list of the outputs required for project success. Deliverables may include any project management documentation that will facilitate success.

Project Exclusions

An explicit statement of what deliverables or aspects of deliverables are excluded from the project

Constraints

Aspects of a project that may limit it, including budget or imposed dates

Assumptions

A list of the beliefs underlying the project and their potential impact should they be proved to be false

Selecting a Scope Summary

After reviewing the original contract documents, project charter and speaking with several sponsors, our project team has completed a detailed scope statement for the project using this Project Scope Template from PMI. The final document is large and so the project team has written three scope summary statements for the documents executive summary page and asked that you choose one.

With the scope and summary approved, they can begin project planning in earnest and you can expose the project stakeholders and the Cascada board to an initial scope statement in the project executive summary.

Here are your choices for scope summary statement:

Scope Statement Executive Summary 1

Project Description

Our vision is of a project that will bring long-term benefits to the Techtown community, veterans and local environs. The Prosthetics and Rehabilitation Expansion of the Cascada Medical Center will introduce state-of-the-art building and hospital construction techniques, result in a facility that will meet the community's and users' needs, and provide a management model for future projects in other economically depressed communities.

The goal of this effort is to build an innovative prosthetics research and development facility that includes 3D printing and robotic manufacturing of prosthetics. In addition to the prosthetics wing, we will expand parking, contract a new entrance roadway and securely integrate the new systems with the hospitals MIS and EHR.

We will employ progressive elaboration in developing the project's acceptance criteria, deliverables, exclusions, constraints, and other assumptions. This will allow for the greatest possible flexibility over the course of the project.

Scope Statement Executive Summary 2

Project Description

The Prosthetics and Rehabilitation Expansion of the Cascada Medical Center is underwritten by private, federal and state funds, with oversight of the project performed by the state. The goal is to construct a three-story hospital wing that will house patient rooms, a research facility and a prosthetics manufacturing lab. The lab and manufacturing information and control systems are to be integrated into the hospitals MIS and the EHR extended by the development of a Patient Portal.

Project Exclusions

The scope of PREP project is limited to construction of the wing and related external features (parking, roadway, greenery and sidewalk replacement), installation of robotic and 3D printing devices, patient portal and integration of this technology with existing hospital systems.

Project Constraints

Constraints that limit the scope of this project include the project budget and the schedule, which requires a six-month project timeline, excluding the two-month planning timeline. Failure to meet the scheduled delivery date can result in a partial or full loss of state and federal funding for the project.

Scope Statement Executive Summary 3

Project Description

The Prosthetics and Rehabilitation Expansion of the Cascada Medical Center seeks to construct a new hospital wing for the areas primary hospital while meeting all deadline and budget targets. This wing will house the regions primary prosthetics research and manufacturing lab and provide in-patient beds.

Project Exclusions

The scope of PREP project is limited to construction of the wing and related external features (parking, roadway, greenery and sidewalk replacement), installation of robotic and 3D printing devices, patient portal and integration of this technology with existing hospital systems.

Sewage lines will need to be expanded requiring work under local streets. No new water lines will be constructed. The Main Street and Mill Avenue intersection will not be widened as part of this project. These types of initiatives will need to be funded as part of a separate project.

Existing IT systems will not be modified, though a security assessment will be completed as part of the patient portal integration. Implementation of the security assessment recommendations needs to be funded separately.

Project Constraints

Constraints that limit the scope of this project include the project budget and the schedule, which requires a six-month project timeline, excluding the two-month planning timeline. Failure to meet the scheduled delivery date can result in a partial or full loss of state and federal funding for the project.

Technology already in use within the hospital is to be utilized as much as possible without compromising the security, stability and longevity of the new robotic, prosthetic and information systems.

Project Assumptions

All proposed changes to project scope must be subjected to a change control process.

The Cascada PREP budget is already under significant pressure, and cost overruns greater than 1% will require written approval by Cascada Board and the state Department of Health and Human Services.

The project will be reviewed periodically by a state economic development oversight manager.

Make and Support Your Choice

You must decide to:

Choose Scope Statement Executive Summary 1

as the project's scope summary statement, believing that it gives you the greatest flexibility early in the project and that progressive elaboration will allow you to become more specific over the life of the project.

Choose Scope Statement Executive Summary 2

as the project's scope summary statement, believing that it is the most balanced approach, establishing clear goals but providing flexibility later in the project's life.

Choose Scope Statement Scope Executive Summary 3

as the project's scope summary statement, believing that its specificity will keep the project on time and on budget.

Task and What to Submit

Even though the clinic CEO, Maria Jones, has hired us, we still need to get the board of directors to approve the change. The previous contractor was a local business, so the board of directors was willing to overlook some minor (in the end - major) weaknesses in the company. They wont overlook issues again. We need to demonstrate an ability to manage this project in our proposal to the board of directors at their meeting next Monday evening.
