John is heading up a project on Separately Mangled Accounts, a web platform that allows users to choose their own investments. His project requirements were laid out weeks ago, but he’s just found out from the Product Manager that they want to add two more options before his project is completed. Which has been impacted the most by this sudden news?
  1. Project scope
  2. Product scope
  3. Scope baseline
  4. Periscope
  5. Project charter
Explanation
Answer: b - The product scope has been most affected by the recent news because of the additional options about to be launched.

Project scope and the scope baseline will also be impacted but not to the degree as product scope.

Periscope is that mirrored contraption submarine sailors use when they’re trying to see what’s in front of them. If only project managers could be given the real life equivalent...

Key Take Away: Experienced Project Managers have learned that scope in certain industries may not stay static for very long; therefore, flexibility is imperative when encountered with change. However, John should make sure that if the additional options will require additional time and resource to implement, they go through the appropriate change control management processes.
