Axia Consulting: Project Scope Checklist

For an IT software system project

A project scope statement is one of the key project requirements. It defines what the project is about, what’s included or excluded, the deliverables and much other critical information. It is the agreement which binds everyone - users, stakeholders, project sponsor, project manager and project team together. However, often a project scope is just a few lines or paragraphs of general intent included within the IT project proposal. But making the project scope more comprehensive, will not only aid understanding, it will reduce the likelihood of scope creep during the project.
