Document Summary
6 scope processes (although this video only discusses #1 in detail: plan scope management: define/control/validate scope, collect requirements: stakeholder needs/requirements (e. g. move = needs special packing supplies, define scope: detailed description of prod/service, create work breakdown structure (wbs): divide deliverables into smaller, manageable components (e. g. move = pack items by room, validate scope: formalizing acceptance of deliverables, control scope: monitor status, manage changes to scope. Examples include: group creativity techniques like brainstorming/mind mapping ensure that discussion stays in scope, observation/job shadowing useful if person can"t explain what they need to you, benchmarking look at other companies, document analysis, context diagram visual representations, like floor plans. 2. project deliverables product/service is the major one, but there are a number of others that relate to product, or management of project ex. status reports, contracts, training level of detail can vary any that requires approval should have more detail, those related to pm can have less detail.
