Defining the project scope of the District 4
Production Warehouse Move project
A scope document is a document that helps a project
manager to make wise decisions in the life cycle of any given
project. It should bear boundaries of the subject area before
beginning that are clearly and well defined. Adequate
information provided at the beginning of a project helps project
managers to be more adaptable when dealing with problems that
may appear during the later stags of the project (Portny 2013).
This document binds the project sponsor, project team and the
client. It is an agreement defining the client’s business
objectives and the project’s work.
A project scope document can be created by identifying,
clarifying and relating the work of the project to that of the
owner in order to establish a solid agreement between the client
and the project team. A project scope helps to identify changes
in the scope after the project has started and it helps in
adjusting and modifying any changes that may be needed as the
project cycle proceeds. An agreement is reached by identifying
the problem to be solved by the project, the deliverables of the
product and the potential gains, success and cost measures that
are involved.
The following criterion is used when writing a project
4. scope document.
Identifying the project objectives.
Project objectives that can be defined with quantifiable
criteria are identified. These include quantity measures,
schedule and cost. Project objectives should be attributable for
instance cost, should have a relative or absolute value for
instance less than 2.5 million and a yardstick for instance U.S
dollars. The project objective should not address any work that
is outside the project scope and should address all the work that
is within the project scope.
The project objective of the district 4 production
warehouse move project is to construct a high quality, custom
home within five months and its cost should not exceed
$350,000.
Identifying the project deliverables.
The deliverables include the results, products and
services that the project should produce. A list of summary
level sub products that will mark the completion of the project
should be created. High level deliverables should be identified
alongside the list of low level deliverables that was broken
down in order to enable the people reviewing the project to
focus on the problems of the business that the project is trying
to solve.
The deliverables of the district 4 production warehouse
move project are:
To produce a 2.200 square foot, two and a half bath and a three
bedroom complete home.
To produce a finished garage that is insulated and sheet rocked.
To produce kitchen appliances which include range, oven,
microwave and a dishwasher.
5. To produce a high efficiency gas furnace with programmable
thermostat.
Defining the milestones.
Milestones refer to events that need to receive a special
attention. Milestones are used by project managers to determine
whether they are on track in relation to what the project is
supposed to achieve. It is mostly put at the end of a project to
mark its completion. They can also be included before the end
of the project so as to make any corrections and adjustment that
could be needed or if any problem arises. They also symbolize
the derivation of some information or decisions that may affect
the project in the future. They signify the key stages of the
project and guide on the direction to follow. They can also add
a significant value to the scheduling of the project.
The milestones of the district 4 production warehouse move
project include:
Permit approval.
Pouring of foundation.
Drywall in framing, sheathing, plumbing, electrical and
mechanical inspections passing.
Final inspection.
Identifying the technical requirements.
Technical structures are mostly used in scenarios where an
existing project is being modified. The technical requirements
of this project include:
Building a home that must meet the local building codes.
All the windows and doors must pass NFRC class 40 energy
rates.
6. The exterior wall insulation must meet “R” factor of 21.
The Ceiling insulation must meet an “R” factor of 38.
The Floor insulation must meet an “R” factor of 25.
The Garage will accommodate two large-size cars and one 20-
foot Winnebago.
The Structure must pass seismic stability codes.
Identifying the limits and exclusions.
Limits and exclusions include the restrictions that limit what
the project can achieve, how much it will cost to achieve it and
when and how it can be achieved. The limitation of this project
is that the home must be built to the specifications and the
design of the original blue.
Making reviews with the customer.
Making reviews with the customer entails going through
the project together with the client in order to assess whether
the project was successful. A successful project should solve
the problem at hand. Reviews are made by moving through the
stages of the project cycle in order to ensure that no stage was
omitted and that the deliverables of each stage were met.
