A short article explaining how to write a project scope and the benefits of it
To write this article and bring the best information to you I have searched a bit in other places and got a bit confused to be sincere with too many steps to follow. Following the musical philosophy of more is less and less is more, the project scope should be something simple to create and make people's life easier and not harder trying to write it or even worst, your team wasting time trying to understand. Saying that I will make this article very short and simple with a couple of examples.
If you have been using our Management app you already know that the project scope is an outline of all aspects of the project that gives the team an overall idea of what they are aiming to achieve, giving the: main goal, main features, and final achievement.
It is likely that you have a team with many different abilities and functions that complement each other to fulfill the project goals. If this scenario is true for you, it is important for each of them to see the big picture and understand the importance of their effort. Let's go to the examples and break them down with the simple 3 steps we gave.
Example 1:
"The project will create a website (main goal) that includes research, writing, content strategy and search engine optimisation, (main features) and publish." (final achievement)
Example 2:
"Create an application to help people and companies to achieve more (main goal) with calendar, company management, chat, market, social and advertisement (main features) and publish for devices (phone and computer) and web." (final achievement)
The last example seems a bit familiar. Summing, communication as we know, is the biggest issue in our companies and everything that we can do to improve it will be beneficial and write a quick scope definitely will help and that is why the tool is there for us to use.
Thanks for reading and I hope you can achieve a bit more.
