Although you're given a scope statement template to complete your written assignment this week, we already know that no two organizations use exactly the same format for project deliverables.

Given the scope statement's importance - it's the formal, written statement not just of business and project requirements but actually a summary of all major project considerations (risks, constraints, important milestones, etc.) - what should be included in the "perfect" scope statement?

To answer this question, see what you can find online about scope statements, considering the following:

1. What sections should the perfect scope statement contain? (Be sure to cite your references.)

2. Most projects find managing scope to be a challenge. What can we add to a scope statement that could help manage project scope better (if anything?)

3. If you have experience with scope statements, when has the scope statement worked particularly well, and why?

When wasn't a scope statement helpful (or even caused problems)? And, given the scope statement is increasingly supported by requirements documentation and work breakdown structures, are you still using them?
