== What is Project Scope? ==

'''Project scope''' refers to the boundaries and parameters of a project, including the specific goals, deliverables, and activities that are required to complete the project. Project scope is defined in the project charter or scope statement, which outlines the project's objectives, deliverables, stakeholders, and other key details.

The scope of a project is a critical aspect of project management, as it defines the boundaries of the project and helps to ensure that the project stays on track and meets its objectives. It is important for project managers to carefully define the scope of the project at the outset and to manage it throughout the project to ensure that the project stays within the defined boundaries.

There are several key elements of project scope, including:
#Objectives: The specific goals that the project is intended to achieve.
#[[Deliverable|Deliverables]]: The specific outputs or results that the project is intended to produce.
#Requirements: The specific needs or expectations that the project is intended to meet.
#Constraints: The specific limitations or factors that will impact the project, such as budget, resources, or time.

Effective management of project scope involves defining the scope at the outset, establishing a clear plan for achieving the project's objectives, and monitoring and controlling the project to ensure that it stays within the defined scope. This may involve making changes to the project plan as needed, such as adjusting the scope, timeline, or resources, to ensure that the project stays on track.
