Course Learning Objectives:
SWE-466 Software Project Management ¨ Understand the importance of good project scope management ¨ Describe the process of planning scope management ¨ Discuss methods for collecting and documenting requirements to meet stakeholder needs and expectations ¨ Explain the scope definition process and describe the contents of a project scope statement ¨ Discuss the process for creating a work breakdown structure using the analogy, top-down, bottom-up, and mind-mapping approaches Learning Objectives
SWE-466 Software Project Management ¨ Scope refers to all the work involved in creating the products of the project and the processes used to create them ¨ A deliverable is a product produced as part of a project, such as hardware or software, planning documents, or meeting minutes ¨ Project scope management includes the processes involved in defining and controlling what is or is not included in a project What is Project Scope Management?
SWE-466 Software Project Management
1. Planning scope: determining how the project’s scope and requirements will be managed 2. Collecting requirements: defining and documenting the features and functions of the products produced during the project as well as the processes used for creating them 3. Defining scope: reviewing the project charter, requirements documents, and organizational process assets to create a scope statement 4. Creating the WBS: subdividing the major project deliverables into smaller, more manageable components 5. Validating scope : formalizing acceptance of the project deliverables 6. Controlling scope: controlling changes to project scope throughout the life of the project Project Scope Management Processes
SWE-466 Software Project Management ¨ The project team uses expert judgment and meetings to develop two important outputs: A. the scope management plan and B. the requirements management plan ¨ The scope management plan is a supplementary part of the project management plan
SWE-466 Software Project Management ¨ How to prepare a detailed project scope statement ¨ How to create a WBS ¨ How to maintain and approve the WBS ¨ How to obtain formal acceptance of the completed project deliverables ¨ How to control requests for changes to the project scope A- Scope Management Plan Contents
SWE-466 Software Project Management ¨ For some IT projects, it is helpful to divide requirements development into categories called elicitation, analysis, specification, and validation ¨ It is important to use an iterative approach to defining requirements since they are often unclear early in a project Elicitation: It is the practice of collecting the requirements of a system from users, customers and other stakeholders.

SWE-466 Software Project Management ¨ A requirements traceability matrix (RTM) is a table that lists requirements, various attributes of each requirement, and the status of the requirements to ensure that all requirements are addressed ¨ Sample entry in an RTM Requirements Traceability Matrix
SWE-466 Software Project Management ¨ Project scope statements should include ¤ at least a product scope description, product user acceptance criteria, and detailed information on all project deliverables. ¤ It is also helpful to document other scope-related information, such as the project boundaries, constraints, and assumptions. ¤ The project scope statement should also reference supporting documents, such as product specifications

SWE-466 Software Project Management
¨ The WBS represents a logical decomposition of the work to be performed and focuses on how the product, service, or result is naturally subdivided. ¨ It is an outline of what work is to be performed. ¨ W B S i s a h i e ra r c h i c a l a n d i n c r e m e n t a l decomposition of the project into phases, deliverables and work packages ¨ A deliverable-oriented grouping of the work involved in a project that defines its total scope.
