5. Project Scope Management
Project Scope Management include the processes required
to ensure that the project includes all the work required, and
the work required to complete the project successfully.
Managing the project scope is primarily concerned with
defining and controlling what is and is not included in the
project.

12. • Interview
• Is a formal or informal approach to elicit information from stakeholders by talking to them directly
• Focus Groups
• Bring together prequalified stakeholders and subject matter expert to learn about their expectations and
attitudes about a product, result , services.
• Facilitated Workshops
• Focused sessions that bring key stakeholders together to define product requirements.
17. Project Scope vs Product Scope
Project Scope Product Scope
• Is the work the project will do to deliver the
product
• Requirements that is related to the product
of the project
• Completion is measured against the plan • Completion is measured against
Requirements
• The work need to deliver the house • House
18. Products vs Services
Products:
• Products are tangible and discernible items that the organization
produces, including digital file-based output.
Services:
• A service is the production of an essentially intangible
benefit, either in its own right or as a significant element of
a tangible product, which through some form of exchange,
satisfies an identified need. Sometimes services are
difficult to identify because they are closely associated with
a good; such as the combination of a diagnosis with the
administration of a medicine.

23. Scope Creep and Gold Plating in Project Management
• final product; however, the mechanism of these changes is different in eacDo
you recall how many times this scenario has happened to you? You plan to
purchase or build something, and allocate a certain amount of money for this
purpose. However, when you proceed with your plan, many new requirements
are added to it, until at last you end up with an entirely new product.
• This situation may be okay for you, because here you are the person who is
planning, and executing the project and more importantly- you are the end
user of the product and the one spending money on it.
• In our life it happens many times and we even don’t care about it. But when it
comes to professional life — it is a different case.
• Let us say that you are managing a project and some extra functions are
added to the product, either knowingly or unknowingly, and these changes are
not stated in the scope statement.
• This is a bad practice and it is known as either scope creep or gold plating.
Scope creep and gold plating both bring the changes in the h case.
24. Scope Creep
• Scope creep is also known as requirement creep, which refers to the
uncontrolled changes in the project’s or product’s scope.
• Scope creep happens in the project for following reasons:
1. Due to interference from the client.
2. Due to an incomplete scope statement.
3. Due to a poor change control system.
4. Due to miss-communication among the team members.
5. Due to reasons external to organizations; e.g. market conditions,
regulatory requirements, or technological advancements.
25. Scope Creep Example
• Suppose you are building a 100 foot wall for the client, and
client comes to the team and asks them to increase the length
of wall by one foot. Team members think that there is a lot of
material lying around on the site, and it will make no
difference to them to build just one foot of the wall; therefore,
they go ahead and build the extra length of wall.
26. Gold Plating “make client happy”
• Gold plating means intentionally adding extra features or
functions to the products which were not included in the
scope statement.
• Usually gold plating is performed by either the project team or
the project manager with no additional cost to the client.
• Gold plating is done with good intentions and most of the
time is appreciated by the clients; however, there are many
cases where it is not liked and the gold plating is backfired
because you are adding some features to the product which
were not demanded by the client.
• This might be considered as an unauthorized change in the
scope and the client can refuse to accept the product.
• Gold plating is very common in software programming and is
done by team members to show their abilities, or by the
project manager to the make client happy.
27. Gold Plating Example
• Let us say that you are building a
software program for the client. Your
programmer comes to you and says
that he can add some extra features to
the program with almost no effort which
will increase the functionality of the
product, and the client will like it. You
also agree with him, and allow him to
add this extra functionality.
