What you'll learn

It’s common sense that too often isn’t common: without understanding what we need to accomplish, and the actionable tasks that make that possible, project teams are left unable to satisfy their reason for being. In this course, Managing Project Scope, you’ll learn how managing project scope can help you ensure you find success, without getting bogged down or lost along the way. First, you’ll discover how the requirements you define should be prioritized to maximize value and minimize risk. Then, you’ll see how requirements can be broken down into work tasks project teams can complete to meet objectives. Finally, you’ll explore why it’s important to validate project scope on an ongoing basis, ensuring the work we undertake remains consistently aligned with our driving goals. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to assess what will – and will not – help your project team to accomplish its objectives, and understand how you can turn your understanding of project scope into a playbook for action.
