General Information The table below shows the high-level information for this project. Project Purpose/Business Case See instructions in appendix A for completing this section. Project Preliminary Scope See instructions in appendix A for completing this section. Preliminary Project Scope (high-level) Write a paragraph that defines the project scope to establish the boundaries. Project boundaries are an essential part of the scope statement as they identify what should be included in the project and what should not be included. Without specific boundaries, the project could face scope creep, hindering the project's progress. For example, the project scope may include planning, designing, building, and implementing phases. However, the scope may not include training, training material, ongoing helpdesk, or software support. Summarize the scope in terms of what is included and what is not included in the table below. Add rows as needed. The following questions can help determine what is included or not included in the scope. - Ask the client, what is included in the scope, what are the things that we need to deliver? - What are the things that we (students) are responsible for delivering? Whatever is not on the list of deliverables is out of scope. For example, you are creating a strategy for a warehouse. Building a warehouse is in scope but providing a group of people to manage the warehouse is out of the scope. Another example, you are developing a marketing campaign, so for in scope, you need to deliver a marketing assessment, a marketing poster, and a marketing pitch. However, you are not responsible for delivering marketing research, which is out of scope. - You may need to identify just about 45 items for out-of-scope. Key Milestones and Deliverables Write a paragraph and explain each milestone that has been identified for this project. Then, summarize those milestones and their deliverables at the high level in the table below. Remember, each milestone has several deliverables which will be produced because of the successful completion of the project. If all the following deliverables are not met, the project will not be considered successful. Add more rows as needed. - Identify the major milestones for the project by discussing them with your team. Remember, a milestone is a deliverable that has several smaller deliverables. For example, a major milestone could be the "Testing Phase." This testing milestone will have several smaller deliverables such as test hardware, test software, test codes, test servers, and when all these smaller tests are done, the milestone is complete. - For the end date, when you have identified all the deliverables, you can determine when each deliverable will be completed. For example, based on the previous example of the testing milestone, you can determine when each one is completed and then come up with a final date. So, if you start the project on January 1 , then the end date for your testing milestone will be around February 21. - So, for the project that starts at the beginning of the semester, you can use that date as your starting date as a guide.
