Part 1

Section A

• A scope statement has many sections designed to aid in understanding the document. Four important sections that deserve extra attention are assumptions, constraints, deliverables, and boundaries.

These sections were developed to assist in providing the project manager clear direction during subsequent phases of the project. Let's explore these sections a bit deeper.

- What does each of these terms mean with respect to a project scope statement?

- Why is each one so important to a successful project?

- How is each of these used in subsequent processes in a project plan?

- What implications does each have on the project budget and risk management plans?

Section B

Assumptions found in the charter are later used to perform an assumptions analysis. What is an assumptions analysis?

Section C

Why is an assumptions analysis so valuable to a project?

Part 2

A scope statement is written using input from the stakeholders based on stakeholder requirements. Obtaining stakeholder requirements begins with identifying project stakeholders and continues with a stakeholder analysis. The following questions relate to this all important stakeholder analysis.

• What is a stakeholder analysis?

• How is one performed?

• How are the results used?

• How does one manage stakeholder expectations?

Section C

How would you as a project manager plan schedule management?
