Confirm Your Project Scope; Don't Be a Victim

Sadly, one of the most overlooked parts of project management is the ever-important scope identification---and that includes requirements definition and WBS development.

Otherwise, you're at the mercy of changing deliverables and the "he said/she said" syndrome.

Laurence Nicholson has written a great article on PM Forum regarding the importance of WBS and Scope development. If your project has changing or unclear directives, or you feel caught between conflicting sponsors, chances are you might be suffering from "requirements deficiency." If so, reading this article could very well save your next (or current) project.
