• Scope determines the time and cost of a business project.

  • The term is commonly used in project management.
  • The scope of the project covers all the work required for the project, while the scope of the product focuses only on the final result. Scope creep is when uncontrolled changes lengthen project timelines and require effective project management.
  • Proper scoping of a project allows managers to estimate the costs and time needed to complete a project.
