Study Notes
Construction Project Scope Management
- Scope management in construction projects aims to define and control the work included, ensuring all necessary work is completed.
- Key objectives include breaking down the scope of work and identifying different stages of scope management.
Project Scope Management Processes
- Scope Need Requirements: Defining and documenting client needs to meet project objectives.
- Scope Definition: Developing a detailed description of the project, product, and major deliverables, subdividing them into smaller components.
- Scope Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): Subdividing project deliverables and work into smaller manageable components.
- Scope Verification: Formalizing acceptance of the project scope.
- Scope Control: Controlling changes to the project scope.
Procedure in The Need Requirement Phase
- Interviews: Formal or informal discussions with stakeholders to gather information.
- Focus Groups Discussion (FGD): Gathering pre-qualified stakeholders and subject matter experts to learn about expectations and project attitudes.
- Group Creativity Techniques: Includes brainstorming, the Delphi Technique, and idea/mind mapping.
- Group Decision Making: Evaluating multiple alternatives with expected outcomes.
Procedure in The Definition Phase
- Basic Research: Defining, analyzing, and selecting needs of the project owner.
- Preparation of Scope Statement: Forming the basis for initial scope development, focusing on the problem of scope management.
- Preparation of an Initial Scope Document: Providing guidelines and an outline for better scope definition, facilitating early mistake detection and good technical scope documentation.
- Technical Scope Document: Creating the basis for the detailed design and engineering of the project.
- Formation of Scope Development Team: The team performs preliminary research and gathers information for the project undertaken.
Formation of Scope Development Team: Stages
- Need Definition: Defining project needs, including functional requirements. Input from owners and end-users is vital.
- Option Search: Gathering ideas for fulfilling needs, utilizing historical records, current research, and experimental research.
- Analysis of Options: Comparing ideas with project needs to select the best options. Computer graphics and simulations aid in analyzing options.
- Collecting Information: Understanding the selected option's requirements, along with industry analysis. This involves methods study and industry environment scans. Data from historical records, GIS, and equipment and labor use can be used to create time-sequenced simulations.
Scope Statement
- Statement of Work: A brief overview of the project's overall scope, specifying the type of facility, units, subunits, and intended functionality.
- Scope of Work: Providing all costs and expenses for labor, materials, equipment, tools, supplies, and incidental expenses for successful completion in accordance with the attached plan.
- Requirements of Work: Assessing the basic feasibility of project units and subunits. Requirements should be clearly specified, including financial, physical, and regulatory constraints.
- Overall Objectives: Outlining how specified items in the statement of work are carried out, noting if the project is conventionally built or fast-tracked.
- Critical Objectives: Minimum desired functionality; fulfillment and approval determine project continuation.
- Control Philosophy: Describing the organizational control system and policy.
- Performance Specifications: Detailing the performance specifications of the equipment used.
- Repair and Maintenance Standards: Equality project deliverability, with specified repair and maintenance standards.
- Contingency Policy: Comprehensive policy for allowances and management reserves.
- Basic Architectural Plans: Perspective and floor plans
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) Phase
- The WBS process is critical in visualizing the project scope and deliverables at each level. Presented here in various examples like aircraft system project and bicycle projects for greater visualization.
