TOOLS> PROJECT DEFINITION/SCOPE
Project scope planning is executed as part of the project definition phase of the fast track management process. Scope is most simply defined as the body of work and decisions to be completed and executed for a given project. For successful projects, project scope has to be documented, accepted and controlled. The project scope template Quick Tool (provided in universal PDF format) is organized to quickly document scope at a high level, describing scope elements to be included and excluded (a.k.a. scope inclusions and exclusions). Use it jump start your scope planning and as changes occur.

just be too massive and undefined. For that reason, projects must
be broken down into clearly defined "components" that translate concepts
and strategies into tangible actions. This is the project
definition process - creating the project scope.
