How a project may be affected if Clear Statement of Requirements does not exist for a certain project and techniques that a project manager may employ to help ensure that they are in place.

Answer 1

Establishment of Clear Statement of requirements for a certain project and techniques that a project manager may employ to help ensure that they are in place is very much required. It is defined as the scope and controlling of the project.

Defining the scope of project is very essential as it helps in :

• Understanding the time required to complete a project
• Understanding the cost incurred in the completion of the project.
• Allocating the budget requirements for the completion of the project

If the clear statement of requirements does not exist, proper allocation of time and budget cannot be done and the project would progress without any direction.

Establishing the control procedure is very essential for the project:

• It helps to ensure that the project is taking place in the right direction.
• In case of of any deviation, ceratin back up plan is there to bring the proect back to the specified guidelines.
• Project would not go in an abrupt way
