What you'll learn

It’s common sense: without understanding what you need to accomplish, and the tasks that make it possible, project teams are left unable to satisfy their reason for being. In this course, Scoping Project Work, you’ll learn how to effectively manage project scope and help your team find success without getting bogged down or lost along the way. First, you’ll see how the requirements you define should be prioritized to maximize value and minimize risk. Then, you’ll discover 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 you undertake remains consistently aligned with 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 project scope into a playbook for action.
