In the next several posts we would like to discuss the basics of scope management since it is one of the most important parts of project management which we at Softheme pay special attention to. Due to proper application of scope management approaches to the projects of our clients, Softheme is so successful and productive in delivering projects of various complexity levels. So we believe it would be useful to share our experience regarding this matter.

This means that the expectations of the stakeholders, mainly of the client or sponsor, and the expectations of the project team are quite different. Being a most difficult problem, it is nevertheless critical to the success of the project. Projects fail due to many reasons, and understanding them does a good job in helping to avoid failures.
