What is Project Scope Management?

Scope refers to all the work involved in creating the products of the project and the processes used to create them.
It defines what is or is not to be done.

Deliverables are products produced as part of a project, such as hardware or software, planning documents, or meeting
minutes.

The project team and stakeholders must have the same understanding of what products will be produced

Project Scope Management Processes (five processes) defined in PMBOK
1. Project scope initiation
2. Scope Planning
3. Scope definition
4. Scope verification
5. Scope change control
