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.
