5 - PROJECT SCOPE MANAGEMENT

5.1 Plan Scope Management

Plan Scope Management is the process of creating a scope management plan that documents how the project
scope will be defined, validated, and controlled. The key benefit of this process is that it provides guidance and
direction on how scope will be managed throughout the project. The inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs of
this process are depicted in Figure 5-2. Figure 5-3 depicts the data flow diagram of the process.
