8 CH ( 5 ) Scope Management 7 What are the key outputs of the create WBS process? Work breakdown structure (WBS) WBS dictionary Scope baseline (the WBS, WBS dictionary, and the project scope statement are components of the scope baseline) 8

9 CH ( 5 ) Scope Management 8 What are the key outputs of the validate scope process? Work performance information Accepted deliverables Change requests Updates to the lessons learned register, requirements traceability matrix, and requirements documents 9

21 CH ( 5 ) Scope Management 20 How are work packages different from activities? Work packages are deliverables (things), rather than actions (activities) Work package are shown in a WBS Activities are shown in an activity list and network diagram 21

22 CH ( 5 ) Scope Management 21 What makes up the scope baseline? Project scope statement WBS WBS dictionary 22

23 CH ( 5 ) Scope Management 22 What is the validate scope process? When is it done? -The process of gaining formal acceptance of the deliverables by the customer or sponsor - during project monitoring and controlling and at the end of each phase of the project life cycle 23
