SCOPE OF MY PROJECT'S OUTCOME

The scope of my project outcomes basically means what i intend to see as outcomes in my project. These are the outcomes that i will focus on as part of monitoring the project's performance. These include:-
+ Signing of contracts with at least four (4) private schools in the launch area.
+ Continued partcipation of signed up school children for two consecutive months.
+ Signing up of at least a total of 50 (fifty) community members for 3 (three) days in a week.
+ Having obtained a list of all designated public utility open spaces within the first month of operatin.


EXCLUDED ISSUES IN THE PROJECT

The project may want to include as much details as possible but may not be able to do so for reasons such as financial contraints, concept newness as well as lack of equipment and adequate readily available trained personnel. Thus, my project will exclude notably the undermentioned areas:
+ Free fitness sessions for the targeted groups. this may not be able due to the fact that our personnel will need training and certification as well as upkeep allowances. The project needs to grow on its own with little or no external dependency hence the need for the fees.
+ Lobbying by demonstration. The project will not have nay political leaning and will therefore not engage in forceful lobbying.


PREVENTING PROJECT SCOPE FROM CREEPING

It will be necessaru to prevent my project from extending its tentacles beyond the pre-growth mandate is was created for.
Thus, the use of a blue print and/or business plan will be of importance to stick within the goals of the project.
The mission of the project is also clearly formulated to show our main activities, the initial target group as well as the long-term outcome.
Periodic briefing and de-briefing amongst our project staff will be encouraged. This will ensure that we exchange notes on accomplishments and challenges we are facing while aligning them to the project's goals, mission and vision.


SCOPE CREEPING PLAN WILL INCLUDE...

Adapted from http://www.projectperfect.com.au/info_scope_creep_mgmt.php

+ Make a flexible project plan allowing users to participate at the design phase and incorporate their suggestions. In case scope creep cannot be avoided, participate in rescoping.
+ Define the business requirements as “must-haves” and “nice to haves” and prioritise them. Identify the risks for each “must-have” requirement and get the stakeholders approval. Plan these prioritised requirements in the form of phased deliverables during the project life cycle.
