PM 101: Workshop 3 – Scope Management

Location: In-Person | SBUS 140

Date: Nov 9

Time: 1pm – 3pm

Facilitator:   Supreet Bains-Sharma - Adjunct, Management

Organizations and people undertake projects because they are not satisfied with the status quo, whether that is improving something existing or developing something completely new. From this perspective, projects are mechanisms to make change happen and all projects by definition are investment of a better future.

But what is that future state? What are the improved or improved functions, features, or results? What are the essential requirements of the project?  The question of “what” to do is the domain of scope management, and in this workshop, we will conduct a deeper dive to understand the challenges of defining, managing, coping with change as related to scope.

As a part of the workshop, we are planning two activities:

1.   Identify scope, not just of the desired outcome but also the management effort required to properly perform the work

2.   Conduct a work breakdown exercise to more atomically identify tasks required for the project work
