The scope of a project is the total range of activities that are required for its successful completion. It encompasses all aspects of the project, from planning and strategizing at the outset to delivery, testing, and follow-up activities at the end. The scope helps define the objectives of a project, identifies the deliverables and milestones, and outlines how it will be accomplished. It’s important to define the scope of a project as narrowly or as broadly as necessary to make sure that everyone involved understands the parameters within which they are working. Keeping the scope clearly defined helps ensure that teams remain focused on completing their tasks within the timeline and budget set out in the plan.
