PROJECT (100)

You have recently joined Capura Inc. as a project manager. There is currently a product development project in-
progress that is still at the planning stage. A business case was submitted for the project by the previous project
manager and the project was subsequently approved with a commitment of funds and other available resources
(inclusive of project team members with key skills) by the Project Evaluation Board. Your first responsibility as the
project manager together with your project team, is to design the scope management plan for the project. Keep in
mind that the quality of your plan will be benchmarked against the successes of the previous project manager (even
with scope creep regularly rearing its head on many projects). The scope management plan for this project should
therefore be all encompassing, illustrating every finite aspect of scope management planning and should
simultaneously be explicit to all relevant stakeholders.

Your scope management plan should deliberate on and exhibit the following:

 An introduction (5)
 Collecting requirements (15)
 Defining the scope (5)
 Developing a project charter (20)
 Developing a project scope statement (20)
 Developing the WBS (10)
 Validating the scope (10)
 Controlling the scope (10)
 Conclusion (5)
