ITPEC IP April 2024 Question 51
Which of the following is an appropriate description concerning project scope management?
Explanation
Defining and managing the deliverables and the activities needed to complete them — that is project scope management.
Scope management decides what the project will and will not produce. It collects the requirements, defines the scope, breaks the deliverables and the work down into a WBS, and then controls changes to that scope, so that no required work is missed and no work is added without approval.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- •(b) — the path of activities that takes longest through the whole project is the critical path, managed in schedule management
- •(c) — events that may be advantageous or disadvantageous for the project are risks (opportunities and threats), handled in risk management
- •(d) — coordinating the people who affect or are affected by the project is stakeholder management
Key rule: Each knowledge area of project management answers one question: scope is what, schedule is when, cost is how much, risk is what might happen, stakeholders is who.
