5 - PROJECT SCOPE MANAGEMENT

Completion of the project scope is measured against the project management plan (Section 4.2.3.1). Completion
of the product scope is measured against the product requirements (Section 5.2). The Project Scope Management
processes need to be well integrated with the other Knowledge Area processes, so that the work of the project will
result in delivery of the specified product scope.
