DEFINING THE PROJECT
• A Project Requirements Definition defines
what the project will accomplish.
• The Project Requirements Definition is the
authoritative reference document of what the
project is all about.
• Acceptance of the Project Requirements
Definition by the different parties confirms a
common understanding of the project
between the executives and the project.
OWNER'S NEEDS AND PROJECT
OBJECTIVES
• “what is needed” isn’t always “what is wanted.”
• Because there are always constraints of cost and
schedule, the owner must develop a project
definition based upon need.
• Vague owner needs lead to project changes,
scope growth, cost overruns, rework, and
misunderstandings among team members.

PROJECT SCOPE MANAGEMENT
• Project scope identifies
those items and activities
that are required to meet
the needs of the owner.
• The purpose of project scope
definition is to identify the
work to be performed and
allow the design to proceed
with minimal changes.
• To accomplish this, the
project manager from the
design organization must be
involved early in the project.
