Defining the Scope in IT Projects - Part VII - Other Considerations

May 6, 2008 | Author: admin | Filed under: Scope Management, Project Scope Management

Defining the Scope in IT Projects - Part VII - Other Considerations (#7 in the series Defining the Scope in IT Projects)
By Neville Turbit - Project Perfect

In documenting the scope of the project, also consider describing the project boundaries, identifying the major business events, locations, divisions, functions and processes affected by the project, as well as the groups of people impacted both inside and outside the company. Consider also:

• Business processes that will be affected
• Business areas/units that will be affected
• Business locations that will be affected
• Business data that will be changed
• Business applications that will be changed
• Technologies that will be changed

All of these may have an impact on the project. For example if numerous locations are to be effected, there may be issues of bandwidth, switching hardware, travel and training, remote support etc.
