Scope Statement: Review

Your roommate is about to submit a scope statement for a spring concert sponsored by the

entertainment council at Western Evergreen State University $($WESU$).$ WESU is a residential

university with over $22,000$ students. This will be the first time in six years since WESU sponsored

a spring concert. The entertainment council has budgeted $$40,000$ for the project. The event is

to occur on June $5$th$.$ Since your roommate knows you are taking a class on project

management, she has asked you to review her scope statement and make suggestions for

improvement. She considers the concert a resume$-$building experience and wants to be as

professional as possible.

Below is a draft of her scope statement. What suggestions would you make and why?
