Project Scope Management (eBook, ePUB)

A Practical Guide to Requirements for Engineering, Product, Construction, IT and Enterprise Projects

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Incomplete or missed requirements, omissions, ambiguous product features, lack of user involvement, unrealistic customer expectations, and the proverbial scope creep can result in cost overruns, missed deadlines, poor product quality, and can very well ruin a project. This book explains how to elicit, document, and manage requirements to control project scope creep. It also describes how to manage project stakeholders to minimize the risk of an ever-growing list of user requirements. The book examines five different projects and traces their development from a project scope management perspective.

Rezensionen

The book unites the best practices of scope management from the fields of traditional project management, information technology, software development, engineering, product development, architecture, construction, and multidisciplinary projects. It is based on the most advanced and popular works by prominent authors and contains the latest advances in project scope management. It also concentrates on the hands-on practicality of tools and techniques rather than focusing on their academic prominence. Best of all, Jamal's book is easy to read and uses informal, nonacademic language to explain all the key points.
