That’s why it is important to define the scope of the project properly. A well-defined scope will help you make your customer happy. In this presentation, I will teach you how to define the scope of a consulting project fast and efficiently.

In the presentation, you will learn the following things:

By a project scope, we mean:

• It is a detailed description of what the project will deliver
• It is the common understanding among stakeholders about what goes into a project and what factors define its success
• The scope of the project is critical because without it project managers would not know whether they successfully completed the project or not
