The Scope Management Plan is a critical element of any business project. It serves as an overall guide to managing the scope of the project and keeping activities on track, helping to ensure that it delivers success. The plan outlines what needs to be done, who will do it, how much time it will take, and how much money it will cost. It also identifies any potential risks associated with the project. By outlining the exact parameters of the project, the Scope Management Plan helps stakeholders identify elements that might need revisiting or added, enabling them to adjust the scope in order to maximize efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction.
