Scope Statement

A scope statement is a formal document that outlines the boundaries and objectives of a project. It defines what will be included and excluded from the project, ensuring everyone involved understands the goals and expectations. This statement helps prevent misunderstandings and scope creep, which is when additional tasks or requirements are added without proper assessment. By clearly stating what the project aims to achieve, who is involved, and the resources needed, a scope statement serves as a guide to keep the project focused and on track.
