What does the term “Project Scope” refer to in Workfront?

The term "Project Scope" in Workfront refers to the defined boundaries of a project, which encompasses the specific deliverables, tasks, and the overall work required to complete the project. This includes identifying what is included and excluded from the project, and sets clear expectations for all stakeholders regarding what the project will deliver. Understanding project scope is crucial for effective project management as it helps in avoiding scope creep, which can lead to delays, budget overruns, and dissatisfaction from stakeholders.

While the total budget allocated for a project, the timeline for project completion, and the resources required for project execution are all important aspects of project management, they are not part of the scope definition itself. The scope focuses specifically on the work that must be done to produce the project’s deliverables, making it a foundational element for planning and executing the project successfully.
