Scope

A range of business needs defining boundaries for requirements

Scope focuses on solution discovery and development processes to meet specific organization needs, with a clear definition of completion.

Scope Examples

Stakeholders negotiate the scope of an organization’s needs that a solution’s version will fulfill.

Scope acts like a container of business needs. When the container is full, it has all the needs to complete solution discovery.

Scope is like truth in a court of law. Discovery and development should occur within the scope, the whole scope and nothing but the scope.
