Ground Rules

1. 1
   Plot “Plan Scope Management Process” along with its Inputs and outputs.
   • Inputs:
     • Project Management Plan (Ground Rule #1)
     • Project Charter (ask yourself a question, why is this required?, to remember this)
     • EEF and OPA (Ground Rule #3)
   • Outputs:
     • Scope Management Plan
       
2. 2
   Plot “Collect Requirements” along with its Inputs and Outputs.
   • Inputs:
     • Scope Management Plan (Cascading Input from above process + Ground Rule # 2)
     • Requirements Management Plan (Cascading Input from above process)
     • Project Charter
     • Stakeholder Register
     • Stakeholder Management Plan
   • Outputs:
     • Requirements Documentation
     • Requirements Traceability Matrix
       
3. 3
   Plot “Define Scope” along with its Inputs and Outputs.
   • Inputs:
     • Scope Management Plan (Cascading Input from above process + Ground Rule # 2)
     • Requirements Documentation (Cascading Input from above process)
     • Project Charter
     • OPA
   • Outputs:
     • Project Scope Statement
4. 4
   Plot “Create WBS” along with its Inputs and Outputs.
   • Inputs:
     • Scope Management Plan (Cascading Input from above process + Ground Rule # 2)
     • Requirements Documentation (Cascading Input from above process)
     • Project Scope Statement (Cascading Input from above process)
     • EEF and OPA
   • Outputs:
     • Scope Baseline (Project Scope Statement + WBS + WBS Dictionary)
     • Project Document updates
   • The benefit of this method is as follows:
     • Total to memorize: 18
