Project Scope and Product Scope

Start with the scope types

The mind maps give you several ways to explore the difference between product scope and project scope. The product scope describes the features and functions of a product or service. The project scope describes the work needed to make it.

Start with a map that places these ideas side by side. Look at how it connects product features to the work of the project. Another map also includes plans, coordination and administrative activities.

Move on to scope processes

The flashcards on defining and managing project and product scope introduce scope management processes, including planning, definition, verification and change control. Use them after the scope-type maps to look at how scope is managed.

A mind map on the same subject includes collecting requirements, defining scope, creating a work breakdown structure, verifying scope and controlling scope. Compare the terms on the map with those in the flashcards. This can help you organize the material as you study.

Use a map with questions

There are no quizzes listed on this topic page. With a free account, you can make your own quiz and use a mind map to check how you have described product scope and project scope. You can also turn the process terms into questions and look back at the flashcards when you need a prompt.

Place the topic in its unit

This topic is part of the Project Scope Management unit in Business administration and management (incl. project management). The resources connect the distinction between project and product scope with the processes used to define and manage scope. They offer university students, professional candidates and teachers a starting point for studying that connection.

Choose a map and use it alongside the flashcards as you study the unit.
