The greatest wish of every Project Manager is that their projects are smooth from start to closure, without any delays or added costs. However, that is rarely true. This is where project scope management plays an important part. It ensures that a project flows as smoothly as possible. Project Scope Management includes the processes that are required to ensure the successful completion of the project. It includes all the work
required to complete the project successfully. There are five processes that take place in Project Scope Management. Let's discuss these process groups of Project Scope Management. Project Scope Management is the process that helps understand and
record an entire project process, including goals, tasks, deliverables, budgets, and deadlines. While a lot can change when it comes to big projects, having the project scope defined in the beginning can definitely help make it easier for teams to manage and run the project, including dealing with the changes. This is the first process group in scope management. It is the process of defining and documenting stakeholders' needs to meet the project activities. The document for collecting requirements is developed in the project planning phase. This is the process of developing a detailed description of the Project and product. So while Collecting the requirement list, all the
different requirements of the Project and the resulting product or service are defined. Creating a work breakdown structure is done using a technique called decomposition. It is basically the process of subdividing project deliverables and project work into smaller and more manageable components. This is the process that is a part of project monitoring and control process group. This process includes reviewing
deliverables with the customer or sponsor to ensure that they are completed satisfactorily and obtaining formal acceptance of deliverables by the customer or sponsor. Control Scope is the last process group of project scope management. It is again a part of project monitoring and control process group. Control scope is the process of monitoring the project's status and managing changes to the scope baseline. This process ensures that all requested changes and
recommended corrective or preventive actions are processed through the integrated change control process. Want to jump-start

A technique used for dividing and subdividing the project scope and project deliverables into smaller, more manageable parts.
An agreement that sets the fee that will be paid for a defined scope of work regardless of the cost or effort to deliver it.
A project life cycle where the project scope is generally determined early in the project life cycle, but time and cost estimates are routinely modified as the project team’s understanding of the product increases. Iterations develop the product through a series of repeated cycles, while increments successively add to the functionality of the product.

Those processes required to establish the total scope of the effort, define and refine the objectives, and develop the course of action required to attain the objectives that the project was undertaken to achieve.
For projects that have a product as a deliverable, it is a tool to define scope that generally means asking questions about a product and forming answers to describe the use, characteristics, and other the relevant aspects of what is going to be manufactured.
A numbering system used to uniquely identify each component of the work breakdown structure (WBS).
