The article “Project scope management through multiple perspectives: A critical review of concepts” is a comprehensive overview of project scope management. The authors emphasize that this step is key in project management and fundamental for future successful implementation. The article provides a detailed description of the six steps that are included in the scope management process. The authors further give several reasons for the importance of this stage in project management. Finally, the article also includes an overview of scope management in the context of various standards and methods.
The authors analyze in detail each step in the scope management process and, based on their analysis, give particular and rational reasons for the importance of this phase. This section is the most important in the article, as it allows understanding that the element is fundamental for developing all the further action plans. This detailed overview provides an opportunity to consider each of the smaller steps as a key aspect. In this respect, this information can be used as a guide for the manager when setting the scope of the project.
Additionally, the authors provide information about the standards that exist in the world to regulate the scope management process. This section is useful for understanding the topic as a whole, as it identifies which methods are most effective for various areas of the business. It is noteworthy that the described standards focus on different steps of the scope management process as key. Thus, the authors managed to create a sufficiently detailed overview of the existing points of view on this phase.
Despite all the advantages of the work, the authors do not provide data on how the success of the project depends on the scope of management. Although they themselves note this in the conclusion, the statements about the fundamental importance of this phase do not appear illustrative enough. This information could also be used to form more specific reasons for the need for scope management. Thus, the authors provide, although detailed, but a fairly general overview, which can only be used to familiarize oneself with the topic.
