Product scope VS Project scope

Product scope is "requirements that relate to the product of the project" It answers the question of "What end result is wanted?" Product scope may be supplied as a result of a previous project to determine requirements, or it may be created as part of the project. Example a project to build a new dam, the product scope might be "deliver a new dam that meets these technical specifications" To determine if the product scope has been completed on a project, the resulting product (the dam) is compared to the product requirements, which are recorded in the requirements documentation and the project scope statement for the project.

Product scope and Project scope

Project Scope is the work the project will do to deliver the product scope or product of the project. Example the project to build a new dam, the project scope is the work to be done to deliver the dam. This work includes the planning, coordination, and management activities (such as meetings and reports) that ensure the product scope is achieved. These become part of the scope management plan, which is part of the project management plan. To determine lfthe project scope has been completed on a project, it is measured against the project management plan.
