Thanks  to my organization. Right now, I am sitting and writing to you all from the beautiful Hotel in Shillong . I came here yesterday morning for a conference on "Scope Management". As you all know, in India alone a lot of effective plans were kept in the back burner due to Recession. But now when the bad days are over, its time to start new things. My trip to Shillong is a step towards the new start. Actually my company is launching one of the biggest Information Programme and after realizing the Importance of scope in any project planning they decided to organise a 3 day session, in which intellectuals from different Industry are called to discuss and share their views on Scope Management.

I have always believed, "After You Plan the work ,you have to work the plan " and to do that you need to know the scope of the plan .Hence , scope management is very necessary. Every project has a set of deliverables, an assigned budget, and an expected closure time.Any amount of variation in the scope of project can affect the schedule, budget and in turn the success of project. During my research i found that PMBOK, which is the Bible of project management, there are 9 knowledge areas discussed; Integration, Scope, Time, Cost, Quality, Human Resources, Communications, Risk and Procurement.By keeping the proper scope of your project, you will be able to finish on time, on budget, and with fewer headaches.Scope creep is one of the most common reasons projects run over budget and deliver late. Although changes to scope during a project are often done with the best of intentions, scope creep is considered a negative occurrence to be avoided.

I also learned that Critical Chain Project Management and scope management are interlinked together. So, decided to share this with you all.

3 days more and after that work on real project.

Time to say Bye to all my group Members.

Yours, P.T Srinivas
