When we talk about a predictive lifecycle versus an ad Jayal or adaptive lifecycle we need to go back
and look at the idea of the triple constraints and predictive versus the agile triangle of constraints
in a predictive scope is typically fix.
This is what you have to create these are the requirements where in an ad Jayal the scope it varies
because of that product backlog it can shift and priorities change time and cost typically vary in triple
constraints with the scope remains constant time and cost and add Jayal is fixed.
So it's considered an inverted triangle.
When we talk about the agile trial triangle of constraints.
So just be familiar with that idea that an agile time and cost this fix and the scope varies versus
triple constraints where time and cost can vary in the scope should remain constant.
The difference between the charter in the scope.
So we go back to the idea of the charter the charter is all about the high level the project or purpose
or justification the measurable project objectives what are the high level requirements the description
of what's the overall project risk and our milestones.
Do we have Pria pre-approved financial resources so how much.
What's the summary budget here.
Stakeholder list you have some requirements to start with.
You have the project manager what's the roles and responsibilities for the PM and the name and authority
of the sponsor.
So the charter is all about authorizing the work and authorizing the project manager.
The scope is all about what we will create.
So we have the authority now we create it in the scope.
So what is the project's scope description.
What are the deliverables.
How do we know were done.
So what's the acceptance criteria.
And are there any project exclusions or things that are out of scope.
So that's very important to know.
Another scope management process you must be familiar with is validate scope validate scope is about
the customer receiving signing off accepting what weve created.
It is an inspection driven process and our goal is the customer to accept the work to have formal acceptance.
Remember this can happen at the end of a phase always at the end of a project or when you create a major
deliverable.
You could validate scope.
So those are some key things you want to know from Chapter 5 in the Pinback on Scope management.
