Description

The
modern world
we live in has brought about chances in abundance and many a
career from back in the day
will soon find itself
redundant
, thanks to the immense
technological advances
brought about by the
fourth industrial revolution
. There is however one career choice that is reaping major benefits from the capriciousness that goes hand in hand with modern day business. And that career is
project management
. More and more
businesses
are
realizing
the immense benefit associated with the
strategic advantages

art of disciplined management of the uncertainty
that comes with project management is something that will always be to the benefit of those who take the time to learn it.
Project
scope management
forms one of the core aspects of project management. It is one of the ten project knowledge areas recognized as a
core component
of project management and when executed correctly it ensures that your
projects start off right, every single time
. The ultimate goal of a project is to fulfill a business need by creating something of value and
scope management
is the discipline that
defines
what that something is.
