ITPEC FE Morning April 2022 Question 53

Determining and documenting all the project's goals, tasks and deliverables — scope management defines what the project will and will not do.

Scope management collects the requirements, defines the scope, creates the WBS, and then validates and controls the scope so that work outside it does not creep in. Its output, the scope statement and WBS, lists everything the project must produce; the schedule and the cost plan are then built on that baseline.

Answer (a)

Why not others:

• •(b) — identifying, analysing and responding to risks over the project's life is risk management
• •(c) — planning, estimating, budgeting and controlling costs is cost management
• •(d) — managing the time allocated so the work ends by the delivery date is schedule (time) management

Key rule: Each knowledge area is named after its object: scope is what is delivered, schedule is when, cost is how much, risk is what might go wrong.
