Assignment: Prepare a Scope Management Plan
Base the assignment on a fictional business that has its own in-house development staff. Pick an IT-related
project that is sufficiently large/complex that will take between 9-12 months to complete. One of the
purposes of the plan is how you will deal with scope creep. There is no required format, but it should be
well organized, easy to understand. You will be graded on both the content and your level of
understanding of the topic.
Purpose: To demonstrate your understanding of managing project scope.
Content: Your plan must have the following sections:
Introduction
Management Approach
Roles and Responsibilities
Scope Definition
Project Scope Statement
Gathering Requirements
WBS
Scope Verification
Scope Control
Normally, the plan should have the following:
The management approach would include the type of “model” (like waterfall)
You’d have a listing of the WBSs
You’d have how often the workers report their status
You’d have how you plan to control scope creep
The verification would include how you know you met the requirements
