Individual Assignment: Scope Statement

Scope definition can vary greatly from one project to another. For a small, routine construction project, it may be quite simple to determine what project outputs will be created and what work is involved in creating them. On other projects, such as one large company acquiring another, it may be very difficult to determine the total amount of work that needs to be accomplished. Regardless of how easy or difficult it may be to define scope and despite industry-specific methods that may be helpful in doing so, all project teams need to complete this process.

A project scope statement guides the project team during subsequent planning and execution. For some very small projects, a well-developed project charter could also serve as a scope statement. On most projects, a scope statement needs to be developed prior to development of the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).

For this assignment, follow the below steps to complete your Scope Statement:

1. Create a "scope statement" pertaining to your individual project
