You need to clearly define project and product scope. Provide a management plan to protect scope and clearly communicate the plan to the execution team. Additionally, establishing a clear objective, understanding, and alignment with the client is imperative to effectively plan a project. I clearly disagree that this is purely value management tool; and I believe this is project management tool that centered on communication and leadership.

You need to know what you're getting in to and to find the correct resources available for completion. Great post.

You say that "the PMBOK, for example, does not include either a requirements definition stage or benefits management process". This doesn't seem to me to be a correct statement as the PMBOK (fourth edition) includes the collection of requirements as part of the Planning Process Group.This Process Group comes just before the "Define Scope" Process Group and feeds into its formulation. Given the above I'm not clear on the post as a whole, as clearly, specifically for those following the PMBOK Guide, scope definition is a key activity and a key outcome, required at the very outset of the project. Cheers, Shim Marom www.quantmleap.com Hi Jed, could you clarify something please.

However your point remains valid as the business case management does not fully appear as part of scope management, and it should be made clearer.
