Part 1: Scope Management Plan
Using the PMBOK® Guide and the Project Scope Statement
Template [DOC], develop your Project Scope Management Plan,
including the following:
1. Executive Summary – Provides a brief overview of this
project (for example, project purpose and justification):
. Organization.
. Specific problems with quantitative metrics.
. Overall solutions.
. High-level timeframe.
. High-level budget.
. Known risks and impacts.
· Business Objectives – Ensures traceability in the project.
Business goals and objectives are linked back to the vision, and
each project objective is also linked to the business vision.
Business objectives—the business measures of project
success—relate to cost, time, and quality. Examples include:
. "Increase productivity by 30 percent."
. "Lower costs by 15 percent."
. "Reduce regulatory fees by $1 million."
· Project Description – Describes the proposed solution and
helps define how the project supports the business objectives.
. Project Scope: High-level deliverables of the project. Includes:
Describe the functionality or elements included within the
project. Does not include: Describe the functionality or
elements related to project that are not included.
. Dependencies (External and Internal): What functionality or
elements of this project are dependent upon other elements
including other projects, tasks, regulatory impacts, et cetera.
. Assumptions: Assumptions form the basis for project planning.
Assumptions are a source of project risk and must be identified.
. Constraints: Limiting factors (resources, budget, time,
materials, et cetera) that will impact the project, both negatively
or positively.
· Project Milestones: A critical point or event in a project.
Usually stated as a specific deliverable with Start and Finish
dates.
· Project Approach: Describes the structure of the project.

the project including time, costs, and resources.
Part 2: Work Breakdown Structure
Develop a work breakdown structure (WBS) based on your
selected project. Your WBS should:
· Include, at a minimum, four levels.
· Be independent of or minimally interfacing with other
dependent elements.
· Be integrated so the total project can be understood.
· Be measurable, in terms of progress.
Preparation
Use the software of your choice to develop the deliverables for
this assessment.
This assessment has two parts and two deliverables:
1. Part A – Using the Project Scope Statement Template [DOC],
include the following in your Project Scope Management Plan.
2. Part B – Work Breakdown Structure (WBS):
. Develop a work breakdown schedule. This includes an
introduction and graphical representation of the totality of work
identified in the Project Scope. Note:You may create graphical
examples in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Visio and save
them as a GIF or graphical image.
. Analyze project roles, responsibilities, and reporting
relationships to develop a staffing management plan.
