This is a start to the scope baseline but you seem to have forgott.docx

This is a start to the scope baseline but you seem to have
forgotten who your audience is. The scope statement should be
tailored to the people who will use and be affected by this
project. I would think that the people living in that community
would benefit the most from know what is going to be delivered
and what they should expect of this project. Your scope
statement is a listing of the project management and project
team activities. That isn't correct. The audience for the WBS
and dictionary is the project team. It should explain to them
what the results of their work should look like or how it should
behave. The dictionary descriptions are specific to THIS project
and should be enough for the team member to know how to meet
expectations. Your dictionary is missing all that. So look
through my specific comments in the attached file. They should
guide you in the right direction to help you finalize this
assignment. Let me know if you have any questions.
Scope baseline
1. Scope Statement.
The scope for this small project consists of two stages:
• Stage 1. Design and project management required to support
the new lift station.
Considerations include: Code and standards, Product
requirements, utility requirements.
• Procurement, design, construction and start up of the upgraded

station.
• Stage 2. Replacement and upgrade of the actual lift station to
be executed by employees of
Pandora Moon Town. A team of experts improving stations and
familiar with the current
operation of stations at Pandora Moon town.
• Replacement of key equipment, rehabilitation, repair and
maintenance of the station. Also,
increasing the capacity of the station
2. Product scope description.
The scope description for this work cover the upgrade of one
residential lift station. Also,
proposes the installation of new mechanical equipment such
pumps stations, installation and
construction of new assets. Defined stages for this project plus
other information will be contained in
the scope baseline.
The improvement of the station includes above ground and
below ground modifications. The
above ground are the upgrades of the lift station surrounding
and perimeter such flood protection,
new fencing, lighting, landscaping, new electrical wiring and

storm water management.
The below ground improvements consist of replacement of
existing pumps, upgraded
monitoring system and new odor control system.
The project includes the following:
• Stage 1. Project management.
• Monthly project updates with sponsor to discuss project
budget, update schedule,
improvement specified in the design plan and project issues.
• Meet with project team staff to discuss standards, expectations
and project approach.
• Gather information from planning department to review
existing station and confirm
recommendations for the proposed updated station to identify
advantages and
Commented [BZ1]: You are confusing your terms. The
Scope Statement is the entire document that consists of
sections 2.0 through 6.0. The scope statement is not a
separate paragraph with some high level information in it.
You should get used to using PMBOK terms correctly so you
understand how they are being used on the exam. This
section seems to be an executive summary. Perhaps you
can call it that.
Commented [BZ2]: Is this part of stage 1? I am confused
by the outline here.

Commented [BZ3]: Is this part of stage 2?
Commented [BZ4]: Who is your audience? You are
writing these documents as classroom assignments and not
professional documents. I am not supposed to be the
audience. The scope statement should be written to the
people who live in that neighborhood so they know what to
expect during and after this project.
Commented [BZ5]: This is interesting. I would like to see
what these things will look like when the project is
complete.
Commented [BZ6]: Your audience doesn’t care about this
at all. They don’t care how you are going to manage the
project. They only care about how disruptive this will be
while it is underway and what will be different when it is
over.
Save all these activities for the schedule. They don’t help
the reader understand what the result is supposed to look
like.

disadvantages taking in consideration design, costs,
environmental and community
impacts.

• Conduct a reconnaissance of the station site to observe
existing conditions such
groundwater levels and actual operation of the station. Also,
verify condition and
capability of alternatives stations for collecting wastewater
while lift station #24 is under
construction.
• Conduct with all personal involved in the construction,
including operations,
maintenance, engineering and staff, a safety meeting to address
safety and health hazard
related to the project. Identify safety issues in the actual station
and stablish a safety
program.
• Coordinate with local, county, regional and federal agencies
when project information is
requested.
• Perform noise analysis before and final of the project to
ensure noise levels are not
exceeded the legal levels and doesn’t affect resident’s
boundary.
• Identify any and all permits requirements required that will be
required for the project.

Environmental, building, etc. ensure all permits are submitted in
a timely fashion to
ensure that the design and construction are unimpeded by the
permitting process.
• Prepare documents consisting of design guidelines, standards,
plans, specifications and
city and county requirements for all mechanical, electrical
instrumentation and drawing
of the new station.
• Provide detailed design calculations of pump sizes, selection
and capacity.
• Management of subcontractors for concrete, fences, odor
control system and
subconsultants. (motor suppliers, pump suppliers).
• Develop a quality assurance/quality control plan for all field
work including sampling if
apply and written certification of for concrete mix,
environmental tests and laboratory
work for air and water.
• Plan and implement public and stakeholder meeting for
involvement of the
neighborhood.

• Stage 2. Demolition and Construction.
• The existing station will be upgraded to meet current codes,
architectural criteria will be
incorporated to blend in with their surroundings.
Commented [BZ7]: Now, this will be of importance to the
neighbors. But remember they don’t care HOW you do it,
they want to know WHAT you are doing. Will roads be
closed? Will there be any noticeable effect when they flush
a toilet? Will there be loud noises? Will work be done after
hours or on weekends? How long will this take? Can you
show them a picture of what to expect with the new
fencing, landscaping, etc.?
This entire section is focusing on actions, not results. Save
most of these items for the schedule.

Commented [BZ11]: These definitions are all actions.
Concentrate instead of what the work package should look
like when complete
Commented [BZ12]: You aren’t describing the
deliverable. You are describing acceptance criteria. It is a
good thing to have, just mislabeled.
Commented [BZ13]: Based on the definition, it appears
that you decomposed this section too far.
Commented [BZ14]: This is an activity.
Commented [BZ15]: This is not a proper decomposition.
Commented [BZ16]: Permits are deliverables but are you
delivering agencies and codes? The description should list
every permit needed and the agency that it comes from
Commented [BZ17]: If these documents are important
and take people and time to complete, then they should all
be listed as separate work packages. Put the descriptions at

the LOWEST level, not the one above it.
Commented [BZ18]: Remove this, you are not delivering
project management.
Commented [BZ19]: See? You even know you are
describing activities. That isn’t what goes here. I don’t
think it should be broken down into these 5 items. Won’t it
all be done by the same people? Put those details in the
description, not under the work package name.
Commented [BZ20]: When I see an “and”, I assume they
are separate work packages. I don’t think they are made up
of alarms and communication

Commented [BZ21]: How are you delivering odor control
or air quality? These aren’t described correctly. Looks like
the work package might be the Environmental Assessment.
Commented [BZ22]: These are activities. Are these parts
listed somewhere? I didn’t see it. Maybe they were implied

at Deployment? I would probably just list the part being
installed here and leave it at that. Drop “noise reduction”.
How are you delivering that? If there is another
assessment, then that is the deliverable.
Commented [BZ23]: This is the work package. Move the
details into the description.
Commented [BZ24]: Fence and gate should be one thing
- fencing. They aren’t being installed separately.
Each of these things need their own description of what
they will look like once installed.
Commented [BZ25]: This shouldn’t be broken down
either. The test is the test. If the evaluation occurs during
the test, then describe it in the definition.
Describe what close-out looks like separately.
