This episode explains how to clearly define project scope during planning, starting with a detailed scope statement that outlines deliverables, boundaries, and acceptance criteria. We introduce the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) as a tool to break work into manageable units, and in Agile contexts, how a backlog organizes features, stories, and tasks for iterative delivery.

We also show how scope definition supports accurate scheduling, budgeting, and risk planning. Examples illustrate how a well-built WBS or backlog prevents misunderstandings, manages stakeholder expectations, and supports exam performance on scope-related questions.
