About the Project Scope template
A Project Scope defines the boundaries of a project: the deliverables, work, and outcomes that are included, and just as importantly, what is excluded. It aligns stakeholders on exactly what will be delivered before work begins, and becomes the reference point for controlling change and preventing scope creep.
It's part of My QMS, MyPMP's Quality Management System: fill it in online, personalize it with your name and logo, then export a clean, branded PDF. Your work auto-saves in your browser.
When to use a Project Scope
- βΈDuring project initiation, before building a schedule or budget
- βΈWhen drafting or refining the project charter and getting stakeholder sign-off

- βΈWhen onboarding a new team or vendor who needs a clear picture of the work

Tips & common mistakes
- π‘State exclusions explicitly, ambiguity about what is not included is the most common source of scope disputes
- π‘Tie every deliverable to an objective so nothing gets added without a clear reason
- π‘Get written stakeholder approval and treat later additions as formal change requests, not quiet extras
How it works

- 2. Brand it β add your organization name and logo with the Branding button.
- 3. Export β print to PDF, or become a member to white-label and sync across devices.
FAQ
What is a Project Scope?οΌ
It is a document that defines the deliverables, work, and boundaries of a project, spelling out what is included and excluded so everyone agrees on what will be delivered.
How is a scope statement different from a project charter?οΌ
The charter authorizes the project and names the sponsor and high-level goals, while the scope statement details the specific deliverables, exclusions, and acceptance criteria that guide execution.
How do you prevent scope creep?οΌ
Document exclusions clearly, define acceptance criteria upfront, and route any new requests through a formal change-control process rather than absorbing them informally.
