The project scope management identifies how to manage all the work that is required to complete the project. In many cases, creating a work breakdown structure consisting of project activities, costs associated with activities, project resource names, and the project schedule acts as a central repository for the entire project' scope. Therefore, using the work breakdown structure for project scope management is a valuable tool. the other important communication tool within the scope management area is the project communication plan. The communication plan documents and describes how the project manager or team members will communication project information throughout the life of the project. Project scope control is critical task that project managers undertake while managing their projects. Project managers should ensure that their project has well-defined scope and ensure that customers and management approve that scope before getting too far along in thee project. Without that approval, the project' s scope' s can easily get away from you, and your project may be negatively impacted. To prevent scope getting out of hand, project managers must ensure that at the beginning of the project they have a change control process defined and in place. A change control process is an important method of scope control. A common term within scope management is scope creep. Scope creep is adding additional work items to the original scope without going through a change control process. The project scope approval process is normally project specific and is important to every project manager to understand and drive continually. There are two major groups that handle scope approval. The first group is the customers requesting the additionally work, and the second group is the project manager or the team members who perform the work. In most cases, the customers or owners have the final say as to whether the additional scope is added to the project, but that often comes with price, it is either the price of extending the project schedule or adding more costs or resources to the project.
