Develop a scope statement for the project. Use the template provided on the companion Web site, and review Fig $4-6$ in the text.$$

Notice the difference between this scope statement and the description of the project given in the Project Charter example in the previous chapter.$$Different audiences$$need different levels of detail.

Remember, the main project goals are to get financial backing, handle legal issues, develop marketing materials, find a rental space for the music academy, purchase$/$develop curriculum, and hire staff so you can open for business by one year from now.$$But these now need details.$$Be as specific as possible in describing product characteristics and requirements, as well as key deliverables. For example, assume that you need to rent a space for your business that is in a desirable part of town near other businesses and schools, has enough room for a reception area, technology lab with five computers, two larger band rooms that have soundproofing or can be sound proofed, and five small rooms for private lessons, parking, security, etc..$$Avoid leaving the team needing to interpret what you are stating at a later date..

Rework will be allowed.
