Project Scope Statement

A Project Scope Statement is a document that outlines the specific goals, deliverables, tasks, costs, and deadlines of a project. It serves as a clear guide for everyone involved, detailing what is included in the project and what is not. This helps prevent misunderstandings and scope creep—where additional tasks are added without proper approval. By clearly defining the project's boundaries, the scope statement ensures that all team members understand their responsibilities and that resources are used efficiently to achieve the desired outcome.
