Project Management Orientation

Scope is Realistic and Managed Key

It is unusual for a project to finish without at least one change request to the scope from either the project sponsor or the project team.  Therefore, the team must expect scope changes and manage them effectively.

However, if there are many change requests right after the start of the project, the scope has not been not well defined. Make sure that the team spends enough time in the planning phase to have a detailed understanding of the project scope.

Here are some criteria for assessing the Scope Is Realistic and Managed key.

As the project manager, look for these signs.
