Project Scope Management is the art and science of defining what a project will achieve and, just as importantly, what it will not. At a high level, it involves identifying and documenting all project goals, deliverables, tasks, costs, and deadlines. This foundational process ensures that a project includes all the necessary work—and only the necessary work—to be completed successfully. Imagine building a house; project scope management is akin to having a detailed blueprint that specifies every room, material, and dimension, preventing the spontaneous addition of a swimming pool halfway through construction.
