A critical factor in the success of a project is the project manager's ability to monitor and control the scope of the project. During the implementation of processes within the Planning Process Group, a great amount of effort and planning goes into the collection of project requirements, the creation of a work breakdown structure, and the definition of the project's scope. Monitor and Control Project Scope will teach you about the important principles and best practices employed by project managers to safeguard the scope of their projects. In addition, you'll learn about the Project Management Institute's Verify Scope and Control Scope processes, and how these processes are related to the Project Scope Management Knowledge Area.
