How does scope management impact project integration?

2 Scope management and project charter

The project charter is a document that authorizes the project and defines the high-level scope, objectives, and constraints. It is usually created by the project sponsor or initiator, and approved by the key stakeholders. The project charter provides the basis for scope management, as it outlines the project vision, purpose, and boundaries. It also provides the basis for project integration, as it identifies the project manager, the project team, and the main stakeholders.

3 Scope management and project plan

The project plan is a document that describes how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled. It is developed by the project manager and the project team, based on the project charter and the project scope baseline. The project plan includes various subsidiary plans, such as the scope management plan, the schedule management plan, the cost management plan, and the integration management plan. The scope management plan defines how the scope will be defined, validated, and controlled throughout the project. The integration management plan defines how the project activities will be coordinated and integrated.

5 Scope management and project monitoring and control

The project monitoring and control is the phase where the project performance is measured and compared to the project plan and the project scope baseline. It involves tracking, reviewing, and reporting the progress and status of the project. It also involves identifying and managing any changes, issues, or risks that may affect the project scope or integration. The scope management plan and the integration management plan provide the tools and techniques for monitoring and controlling the scope and integration, such as scope verification, scope control, change control, and integrated change control.

6 Scope management and project closure

The project closure is the phase where the project is formally completed and closed. It involves verifying that all the deliverables have been accepted by the stakeholders, documenting the lessons learned, releasing the resources, and archiving the project records. The scope management plan and the integration management plan provide the criteria and procedures for closing the project scope and integration, such as scope validation, scope audit, and project review.
