Project Scope Management includes the processes required to ensure that the project includes all the work required, and only the work required, to complete the project successfully. Project scope management is primarily concerned with defining and controlling what is and is not included in the project.

The scope project management processes include:

1. Scope Planning - creating a project scope management plan that documents how the project scope will be defined, verified, controlled, and how the work breakdown structure (WBS) will be created and defined.
2. Scope Definition - developing a detailed project scope statement as the basis for future project decisions.
3. Create WBS - subdividing the major project deliverables and project work into smaller, more manageable components.
4. Scope Verification - formalizing acceptance of the completed project deliverables.
5. Scope Control - controlling changes to the project scope.
