Project Scoping and Validation for Successful Project Management

Project scoping involves gathering information, defining key design parameters, and identifying features to meet stakeholder requirements. Validating the project scope helps prevent scope creep and changes, leading to cost reduction and shorter schedules. Steps include resource determination, data gathering, and pre-design meetings to ensure a clear purpose and need statement. Utilizing statistical evidence, project scoping is crucial for effective project management.

1. SCOPE VALIDATION BRAD ELDRIDGE, KYTC The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see. -Winston Churchill

2. Project Scoping Involves getting information to start a project, and identifying the features the product would have in order to meet its stakeholder s requirements. A series of project-focused activities that develop key design parameters and other project requirements.

3. Pitfall of Inadequate Scope Over come negative impact of scope creep and scope changes

4. Benefits of Project Scoping Statistical Evidence indicates that earlier and more detailed scoping efforts can reduce total design and construction cost by as much as 20% and shorten total design and construction schedule by as much as 39%. (NCHRP Report 821- Effective Project Scoping)

8. Purpose and Need Statement Is the first decision point of the shared decision process. Provides the foundation and framework for determining which alternatives will be considered and for selecting the preferred alternative. Contains factual and objective data and information on the statement of the current conditions and why the project is being pursued.
