Quiz
● What is the core objective of project scope management?

the work required to complete it successfully and, just as importantly, only the work that
is required.
● Distinguish between product scope and project scope.
● Product scope refers to the features and functions of a product, service, or result; project
scope refers to the work performed to deliver a product, service, or result with those
specified features and functions.
● What is the primary purpose of the "Plan Scope Management" process?

● The four main categories of requirements are business requirements, stakeholder
requirements, transition requirements, and project requirements.
● What is the relationship between functional and nonfunctional requirements?
● Functional requirements describe the behaviors of the product, while nonfunctional
requirements supplement them by describing environmental conditions or qualities
required for the product to be effective.
● Explain the purpose of a Requirements Traceability Matrix.
● A Requirements Traceability Matrix helps ensure that each requirement adds business
value by linking it to the business and project objectives.
● What is the primary goal of the "Define Scope" process?
● The primary goal of the "Define Scope" process is to develop a detailed description of
the project and its product.
● What is the primary function of the "Create WBS" process?
● The primary function of the "Create WBS" process is to subdivide project deliverables
and project work into smaller, more manageable components.
● What does the "Validate Scope" process achieve in a project?
● The "Validate Scope" process formalizes the acceptance of completed project
deliverables by stakeholders.
● What is "Scope Creep"?
● "Scope Creep" refers to the uncontrolled expansion of the project's scope beyond what
