Course Description:
How important is the management of scope in comparison to the management of time and cost?
Cleland and Kerzner report that, among interviewees in their investigation of critical success factors, the prime indicator of project success for the majority of both executives (62 percent) and project managers (75 percent) was "performance" (meaning meeting objectives and user or client satisfaction). This indicator outranked time and cost in that order.
From a survey of 1,484 respondents working in a variety of project structures, Gobeli and Larson found that planning problems were cited as the most frequent barrier to success. Within this category, unclear definition of goals, objectives, scope, plans, or design was the predominant planning problem, accounting for 50 percent of the reported instances.
In this dynamic, interactive and hands-on course, the secrets of project scope management will be unveiled. Learning how to define the scope, baseline the scope and control the scope of any project, is a key to eliminating, that dreadful killer – SCOPE CREEP!
