Project Scope & Requirements Management

This course introduces learners to the principles and practices of project scope and requirements management, focusing on how project requirements are identified, documented, validated, and controlled throughout the project lifecycle. Learners explore the relationship between stakeholder needs, requirements definition, and scope control, and how ineffective scope management can lead to scope creep, rework, delays, and cost overruns.

The course emphasizes clear requirements definition, structured scope development, and disciplined change control. Through applied exercises, case examples, and documentation activities, learners develop the skills needed to manage scope effectively across a range of project environments.
