Successfully managing project stakeholders, scope and communications is crucial to effective project management. Project scope management is defined as the processes required to ensure that the project includes all the work required and only the work required, to complete the project by successfully meeting stakeholders’ needs. When scoping projects, it is vital to define the need for them. This is typically done at the project start up/initiation stages at a high level relating the project’s intended benefits to the organisation’s strategic intent and in more detail during the later stages. In some cases, the operational concept may exist before the need to undertake the project has been realised. Throughout the life of the project, successful scope management is intertwined with managing the various stakeholders in the project and the communications with them. This unit examines the processes, resources and techniques to effectively manage project stakeholders, scope and communications.
