What Goes into a Good Project Scope Document?

There’s a long list of things that can make a project go sideways, and a poorly defined scope document (or even lack thereof) is surely at the top of that list.

Maybe you don’t know what a scope is, and that’s okay. In fact, not all organizations require scopes for projects, so crafting project scope documents might not be a common practice for you.

But if you’re interested in setting project expectations and keeping your projects on a manageable and trackable timeline, a scope can help!

2. Add notes to each task to define the scope clearly.

Breaking the scope down at the task level eliminates confusion and helps ensure each project piece stays on track.

Remember, project scope is all about setting expectations, and expectations are never a set-it-and-forget-it thing. Share your project scope proactively so everyone’s clear on the guardrails, and don’t be shy about reminders.

With a solid scope in hand and an open line of communication, your project can finish on time and on budget, with high fives all around. 🎉
