Software Project Scope Verification Through Deliverable-Oriented Work Breakdown Structure

Abstract

Software project scope verification is a very important process in project scope management and it needs to be performed properly so as to avoid project rework and to promote better project scope control. Moreover, software scope verification is crucial in the process of delivering exactly what the customer requested and minimizing project scope changes. Well defined software scope eases the process of scope verification and contributes to project success. Furthermore, a deliverable-oriented WBS provides a road map to a well defined software scope of work. It is on the basis of this that this paper extends the use of deliverableoriented WBS to that of scope verification process. This paper argues that a deliverableoriented WBS is a tool for software scope verification
