The project scope's main function is to consolidate the elements of the project management plan. It is of the utmost importance that the project team, and stakeholders agree on a scope statement before starting on a project. The project scope defines the features and capacities of a project, as well as the amount of work estimated to complete it. This document is often comprised of four main components: (a) objective, (b) justification, (c) description, (d) assumptions (Duggan, 2017).

First, we need to define the business goals for the project we are carrying out. The information gathered in this section will be useful to secure approval for our project, and estimate the investment of time and resources necessary. Continuing, we must present the rationale as to why this project must be started. This section should provide an overall direction of the project, clearly specifying the final goal and expected benefits to the stakeholders.

The next section should characterize the goals of the project. This aids in quantifying the requirements, and the measures for success. Lastly, it is important to describe all the risks and dependencies that are expected to be encountered throughout the project, as well as any assumptions made in constructing the document. This section helps setting the expectations for the current project.
