the scope statement before actual project work begins.

A good scope statement includes the following information:

$ Justification: A brief statement regarding the business need your project

addresses. $($A more detailed discussion of the justification for the project

appears in the project charter. See Chapter $2$ for more on this topic.$)$

$$Product scope description: The characteristics of the products, services,

and$/$or results your project will produce.

$Acceptance criteria: The conditions that must be met before project

deliverables are accepted.

$$ Deliverables: The products, services, and$/$or results your project will produce

$($also referred to as objectives$).$

$Project exclusions: Statements about what the project will not accomplish or

produce.

$Constraints: Restrictions that limit what you can achieve, how and when you

can achieve it$,$ and how much achieving it can cost.

Assumptions: Statements about how you will address uncertain information

as you conceive, plan, and perform your project.
