 Project Management :
Concept of Modern Project Management :

– With advanced technological developments and increased competition,

project management has become a central activity in most industrial
organizations and across many industries.
– Being a problem-driven field, the discipline of project management is
rapidly evolving while new ideas, new tools and new techniques are
constantly added.
– These developments have made project management one of the most
demanding and most complicated tasks of management today.
– Similarly, research in project management is also growing as more
theory is developed and more data accumulated.

 Project Scope Management :

Project Scope

It is the work that must be done in order to deliver a project according to

the required functions and features.

03/15/2019 Department of Civil Engineering 11

 Project Scope:

Project Scope

• In other words, it details what works needs to be done/ performed to

achieve and deliver a project.
• This process involves the preparation of a detailed description of the
project and its major deliverables.
• The scope clearly states what the project is supposed to achieve and what
it cannot accomplish.
• The supporting documents are reviewed to ensure that the project will
deliver work in line with the stated goals.

03/15/2019 Department of Civil Engineering 12

 Project Scope:

Project Scope
• It is the part of project planning which involves the
determining and documenting of a list of project specific
– goals
– deliverables
– features
– functions
– Tasks
– deadlines
– ultimately costs

03/15/2019 Department of Civil Engineering 13

 Project Scope Management :

Project Scope

• This work includes the planning, coordination, and management

activities (such as meetings and reports) that ensure the product
scope is achieved.

• These efforts are a part of the project management plan and are
further a part of the scope management plan.

• At the end of the project or the phase, the completed work is

compared against the scope baseline in the project management plan
to determine if the scope has been successfully completed.
