• Abstract:
  Three fundamental issues contribute to the scoping process
  
  problems:
  
  1. The scoping process is inefficient and inconsistent.
  
  2. Staffing for scoping is insufficient.
  
  3. The programmed project budgets are locked in based on early,
  
  uncertain cost estimates.
  
  While numerous actions have been recommended, and some
  
  piloted, those with the highest impact will be the actions that
  
  address these three fundamental issues, as follows:
  
  1. Numerous proposed actions will improve the efficiency and
  
  consistency of the scoping process. Scoping peer group
  
  meetings can provide a vehicle for driving these improvement
  
  actions.
  
  2. While the effects of staffing shortages can be accommodated
  
  somewhat by making the scoping process more efficient, staffing strategies (such as creating higher level, more esteemed
  
  scoping/planning positions) should be pursued.
  
  3. Further refinement and implementation of the proposed future
  
  state of the programming process will provide a framework to
  
  allow later locking in of project budgets.
