The project scope refers to the defined boundaries and objectives of the project. It outlines the specific deliverables, activities, and boundaries that are included within the project and sets the expectations for what will be accomplished.
The project scope encompasses various aspects related to the entire project, including design, construction, procurement, installation, and commissioning. It defines the extent of work that the turnkey solution provider is responsible for delivering, often as a single entity, to meet the client's requirements.
The project scope typically includes:
1. Deliverables
2. Activities
3. Boundaries
4. Exclusions
5. Constraints
The project scope serves as a foundation for project planning, resource allocation, and overall project management. It helps to ensure that all parties involved have a common understanding of what will be delivered and what is expected from the solution provider. It also helps in managing project changes and variations by providing a reference point for assessing the impact of any proposed changes to the defined scope.
The requirement of a well-defined project scope is essential for clarity, alignment, scope control, resource planning, risk management, cost and time management, contractual obligations, and quality assurance. It provides a solid foundation for successful project execution, effective communication, and the achievement of project objectives.
By actively managing the project scope, PMG contributes to the success. They facilitate scope definition, validate the scope with the client, manage scope changes, communicate the scope to stakeholders, monitor and control scope-related activities, and update the scope documentation as required. These efforts ensure that the turnkey solution stays on track, meets client expectations, and achieves the desired project outcomes.
