Purpose

Use this statement to define what the programme will accomplish, why the work is being pursued and where its boundaries lie. It provides the context for later decisions and protects the programme from absorbing work that belongs elsewhere, was never authorised or does not contribute to success.

Application

The scope statement is progressively elaborated as the programme moves through its lifecycle, but refinement is not permission for uncontrolled expansion. Changes to approved boundaries, objectives, deliverables or acceptance conditions should follow programme change control.

Completion discipline

Complete the document from current evidence, name its owner and approving authority, and link the plans, registers or decisions that support it. Retain approved versions and review the document whenever a material assumption, dependency, requirement or governance decision changes.
