Abstract

Software project scope verification is a very important process in project scope management and it needs to be performed properly and thoroughly so as to avoid project rework and scope creep. 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 deliverable-oriented WBS to that of scope verification process. This paper argues that a deliverable-oriented WBS is a tool for software scope verification

Highlights

  • This is so because a software project manager’s success in managing a project is primarily based on how well he/she manages the project’s triple constraint

  • This research paper seeks to close this theoretical void by suggesting the use of work breakdown structure (WBS) as a tool for verifying software project scope. This aim is strengthened by [1] and [4] who state that a WBS provides a road map to a well-defined scope of work and is an important tool for scope quantification. It is on the basis of these assertions that this paper extends the use of WBS to that of scope verification process

  • According to [13] in recent years experts have considered another approach to project planning and have suggested the use of product breakdown structure (PBS) or a deliverable-oriented WBS [4] in creating a WBS
