What are the key elements to consider when defining a project scope?

The key elements to consider when defining a project scope include: related activities, resources, timelines, and deliverables. It's important to have a detailed account of all these elements to avoid scope creep, which can extend the timeline and put the project behind schedule.

Question was asked on:

The first step in any project plan is to ask, "What is the project scope?" Project scope is a detailed account of all the project's elements, like related activities, resources, timelines, and deliverables. Without a thorough scope, you could find yourself adding activities to a project, that then extends the timeline, which puts you behind schedule, and then all of a sudden you understand why government projects take so long! Except not the Hoover Dam - which we'll cover at the end of this article.
