1. Develop Scope statement
  • First attempt to address the scope of work
  • Ensure that the sponsor and the project manager
    are talking about the same thing
  • Make it as comprehensive as you can at this time
  • How to do it

5
1. Develop Scope Statement
  • Project Scope Statement includes
  • Project and product objectives
  • Product or service requirements
  • Characteristics Product acceptance criteria
  • Initial WBS
  • Project boundaries
  • Project requirements and deliverables
  • Project constraints
  • Project assumptions
  • Order of magnitude cost estimate
  • Project configuration management
  • Approval requirements

6
Develop Project Charter
  • Contract
  • External Customer
  • Initiating document
  • Legal and binding

7
Develop Project Charter
  • Project Statement of Work (SOW)
  • It is a narrative description of products or
    services to be supplied by the project.
  • Internal projects
  • External projects
  • Indicate two key information
  • Business need
  • Product scope description

8
Expert Judgment
  • It is used to assess the inputs needed to develop
    the project charter.
  • Other units within the organization
  • Consultants
  • Stakeholders, including customers or sponsors
  • Professional and technical associations
  • Industry groups

9
Project Charter
  • A document that
  • formally authorizes a project
  • Provides the project manager with the authority
    to apply organizational resources to project
    activities
  • Issued by the project sponsor/Initiator

10
Project Charter includes
  • Business needs, high-level project description
  • Project purpose or justification
  • Requirements that satisfy customer, needs, wants
    and expectations
  • Assigned PM and authority level
  • Summary milestone schedule
  • Stakeholder influences
  • Functional organization and their participation
  • Organizational, environmental and external
    assumptions
  • Organizational, environmental and external
    constraints
  • Business case justifying the project, including
    return on investment Summary budget.

11
  • Project Implementation
  • Planning

12
Planning
  • The plan
  • establishes the project management teams
    interpretation
  • of the
  • when, what, who, how much
  • and
  • how of the project

13
Know the Difference
  • Planning
  • How to execute the project
  • It covers what to be done
  • General approach to start with
  • Scheduling
  • Use calendar to indicate when
  • Consider resources availability
  • Schedule is part of the plan
  • You need a plan to do a schedule.

14
Know the Difference
  • Planning
  • Plans, assist the Project Manager in getting
    things done.
  • Plans improve performance
  • Done before execution.
  • Forecasting
  • Predict the outcome of the plan.
  • It is an indication of performance. It does
    not improve performance. Done to predict
    execution results.
  • Validity and reliability increases with good
    planning.

18
Scope Planning
  • It is the process necessary to create a project
    scope management plan on
  • how the project will be defined, verified and
    controlled, and
  • how the WBS will be created and defined

19
Scope Planning Input
  • Preliminary Project Scope Statement
  • Define the projects characteristics and its
    boundary
  • Document the first basic understanding of the
    project

20
Scope Planning Tools Techniques
  • Expert Judgment
  • Relates how equivalent projects have managed the
    scope. Example
  • Industry group
  • Professional and technical associations
  • Consultants
  • Other units of the organization

21
Project Scope Management Plan
  • A document that will provide guidance on how to
  • Prepare detailed scope statement
  • Create WBS
  • Obtain formal verification and acceptance
  • Process the requests for changes, and
  • Integrate changes into project
  • The document is part of the project management
    plan. It can be formal or informal.

22
2. Scope Definition Process
  • It is the process of developing a detailed
    scope statement
  • Emphasis the creation of written scope
    statement document
  • needs a great deal of attention to ensure
    accuracy.
  • Consider the 5 Cs, clear, complete, correct,
    concise and consistent

24
Impact of Scope Definition
  • Basis for future project decisions
  • Improve accuracy of resources, time and cost
    estimating for the project
  • Define if the project or phase has been completed

25
Scope Definition Tools Techniques
  • Product Analysis
  • There are methods employed to translate project
    objectives into tangible deliverables. Example
  • Product breakdown
  • System analysis
  • Function analysis
  • System engineering or value engineering, value
    analysis

26
Scope Definition Tools Techniques
  • Alternative Identification
  • It is a technique used to generate different
    approaches to execute or perform the work.
    Example
  • Brainstorming
  • Lateral thinking

27
Scope Definition Tools Techniques
  • Expert Judgment
  • Definition
  • Who
  • How
  • Each application area has its expert judgment to
    help develop the scope of work

28
Scope Definition Tools Techniques
  • Stakeholder Analysis
  • A technique used to identify the influence and
    the interests of various stakeholders by
  • Identifying their needs, wants and expectations
  • Then select, prioritize and quantify them.
  • Stakeholders interests may positively or
    negatively impact the projects execution and
    completion.

29
Project Scope Statement
  • A document that will describe in detail, the
    project deliverables and the work required to
    create these deliverables. It should include
  • Project objectives
  • Project requirements
  • Schedule milestones
  • Expected overall costs

30
Project Scope Statement
  • It provides a common understanding of the project
    scope
  • It forms the basis of agreement among projects
    team
  • Used as a basis for future decisions
  • It guides the project teams work during
    execution
  • It helps control project scope
  • Project objectives, product description, project
    requirements

31
Detailed Project Statement
  • It should include the following
  • Project objectives or deliverables
  • Project boundaries
  • Product description and acceptable criteria
  • Project constraints and assumptions
  • Initial project organization
  • Initial defined risks
  • Cost estimate and funding limitation and
    approvals
  • Project configuration management
  • Project schedule milestones

32
3. Create Work Breakdown Structure
  • It is the process of decomposing the work to be
    executed by the project team into
    deliverable-oriented hierarchical structure.
  • It defines the total scope of work
  • It is an outline of the work to be done

33
Create WBS Processes
  • Tools Techniques
  • 1. WBS Template
  • Decomposition

Project Scope Statement Project Scope Mgmt. Plan
WBS
34
Create WBS Inputs
  • Project scope statement
  • Project scope management plan

35
Create WBS (Tools Techniques)
  • WBS Template
  • Specific to industry, application area, and
    organization
  • Use with caution
  • Saves time and effort
  • Review PMI Practice standards for WBS

36
Create WBS (Tools Techniques)
  • Decomposition
  • It is the subdivision of project deliverables
    into smaller, more manageable components until
    the work and deliverables are defined to work
    package level
  • Time consuming
  • Start from scratch

37
WBS Levels
Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level
4 OR Level 5
38
Approaches to Creating WBS
  • Analogy approach
  • Top down approach
  • Bottom Up approach
  • Mind mapping approach

39
Decomposition Steps
  • Identify the deliverables and related work
  • Subdivide the work for each deliverable into its
    fundamental component.
  • WBS components represent verifiable products,
    services, or results.

40
Create WBS Outputs
  • Work Breakdown Structure
  • It is a deliverable oriented grouping of project
    element that organizes and defines the total
    scope of the project.
  • Task oriented family tree of activities which
    provide the basis for developing the scope
    definition cost control system and detailed
    schedule

41
Characteristics of WBS
  • Work should only appear in one place in the WBS
  • The work content of any item is the sum of what
    is included under that work item
  • WBS must be consistent with the way the project
    will be performed and controlled
  • Must be easy to update

42
Characteristics of WBS
  • It is the scope baseline
  • Helps the project team understand their role and
    the project
  • Scheduling and costing tool
  • Determine HR and communication needs for the
    project
  • Reporting
  • Cost control tool
  • Decision making tool

43
Work Package
  • It is the planned work contained within the
    lowest level of the WBS components
  • Work package allows the project team to
  • Produce a schedule
  • Provide accurate cost estimating
  • Monitor the progress
  • Control project cost
