Scope
Definition
Scope defines the boundaries of what work is included, expected, and delivered within a website project, service, or task.
Scope sets clarity around what is being done—and just as importantly, what is not.
Purpose
Clear scope helps:
• Prevent misunderstandings and scope creep
• Align expectations between all parties
• Keep projects focused and manageable
• Protect timelines and budgets
• Support better planning and prioritization
Scope creates guardrails for good work.
Common Scope Elements
• Included pages, features, or services
• Excluded or out-of-scope items
• Level of depth or detail expected
• Timeline and delivery boundaries
• Assumptions and dependencies
