Learn in the textbookScope and Schedule Management
DefinitionProject scope management (プロジェクトスコープマネジメント) sets the boundary, or scope, of the deliverables a project produces and the work needed to complete them, and keeps the project inside that boundary.
ExplanationScope has two sides: product scope (成果物スコープ), the things handed over (for a training session, the handouts and the final report), and project scope (プロジェクトスコープ), the work carried out (booking the venue, setting up reception). Record the agreed scope in a scope statement (スコープ記述書) and spell out what is excluded, so nobody can later claim they assumed something was included.
AnalogyIt is like getting a quote for a house move: you settle up front which belongings go on the truck, which stay behind, and whether packing is included. Ask for more later and the price and date have to be negotiated again.
Memory hookScope comes from a Greek word meaning "to look", the same root as the -scope in telescope. Think of it as a field of view: whatever lies outside the view is outside the project.
