Total Points: 100

Overview:

Instructions:

Based on lecture materials for course thus far and the template provided on the next pages,
create a scope statement for your individual case study project. As with earlier deliverables, use
a business writing style where applicable, and do not assume the audience of this scope
statement has read previous project documentation.

HINT: this scope statement incorporates requirements documentation, which means you will list
the requirements (project, technical and any regulatory requirements) for your case study
project in this document. As we saw in course unit 3, writing requirements is challenging and
could take some time! My hint is to start sooner rather than later.

As with your other written assignments, this assignment is to be completed individually.

Requirements:

 Use the “Scope Statement Template Outline” template to complete the assignment

and submit to Blackboard.

 Please follow APA guidelines (proper margins, double-spaced, Times New Roman font,

12-point font).

 Use APA citation format and include a reference/works cited page when necessary.

 Writing should be clear, concise, and well organized. Thoughts should be expressed in

a logical manner.

 The writing should be free of spelling, grammar errors with excellent sentence /

paragraph construction.

 The outline template should be 4 pages maximum in length including reference
page/work cited page.

 Save your files using the following filename convention:

o ScopeStatement – FirstName_LastName

Be sure to read the criteria, by which your paper/project will be evaluated, before
you write, and again after you write.
