Project Scope Management and Statement

Action 1: Scope Management in Project Scope Management and Statement. Using the Scope Management Plan template from the Project Managers Book of Forms (or alternative template of your choice located by your own research), create within your team a simple one-page scope management plan that succinctly outlines your strategy for managing project scope.

Action 2: Project requirements / elicitation in Project Scope Management and Statement.

Within your project team, brainstorm on how your team would approach eliciting project scope management and statement requirements with the airport. Your approach should include multiple sources of requirements elicitation including interviews, surveys, reviewing benchmark data from other airports with the client, a client workshop—to name just a few.

You may also employ expert judgment if one or more of your team members has experience with integrating or implementing this type of system. Your brainstorming will result in a one-page requirements elicitation strategy including goals and intended outcomes, methods used, locations, dates, and names of client and project team personnel. Submit your requirements elicitation plan for grading.

Action 3: Scope statement in Project Scope Management and Statement.

Assume that your team has carried out the requirements collection strategy outlined in Action 1. Within your project team, simulate the outcome of requirements elicitation by discussing your project estimate spreadsheet, searching the Internet for other possible equipment or systems used by other airports, and arriving at reasonable options for fulfilling the requirements for the airport. After completing this team discussion, create a simple scope statement, no more than a single paragraph, that captures the essence of what your project will and will not do.

Action 4: Work breakdown structure in Project Scope Management and Statement.

Consider the options arrived at in your team requirements brainstorming along with the simple scope statement. Proceed to create the WBS. Recall that the WBS is a structured outline of project deliverables. By definition– deliverables are nouns and contain no activities (verbs), durations, or resource assignments. Your WBS should contain at least three levels. It is recommended that you use a spreadsheet to create an indented outline for your WBS. In this way, you can then easily add WBS element descriptions to your WBS to form the WBS dictionary. Submit your scope baseline (Scope statement, WBS and WBS Dictionary) for grading and evaluation.
