which it is relevant. (Oxford)
➢ The work that needs to be accomplished to deliver a product, service, or
result with the specified features and functions that characterize a
product, service, or result. (PMI)
➢ Defining what is needed is the first step toward establishing a project
timeline, setting of project goals and allocating project resources. These
steps will help you to define the work that needs to be done - or in other
words, define the scope of the project. Once this is defined, you'll be able
to allocate tasks and give your team the direction they need to deliver the
project on time and on budget. (CIO)
➢ The main purpose of the scope definition is to clearly describe the
boundaries of your project. Clearly describing the boundaries is not
enough when it comes to project. You need to get the client's agreement
as well. (Prince2)
