Managing your Project Scope (PMBoK Fourth Edition)

Dr Keith O'Shea PMP
Director, QTC Consulting

2 Day Workshop, July 7 - 8, 2009

Project scope management is often defined as the processes required to ensure that the project includes all the work required and only the work required, to complete the project successfully. When scoping any project, it is vital to define the need for the project. This workshop will equip participants with the necessary understanding and skills to successfully analyse, clarify, quantify and finalise scope. In understanding these phases, the participants will be relating the project’s intended benefits to the organisation’s strategic intent. High-level operational concepts help in the creation of the project scope. In fact, the operational concept may exist before the need to undertake the project has been realised.
