stakeholder analysis

3. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
After completing scope planning, the next step is to further define the work by breaking it into manageable pieces “Systems Analysis”
Good scope definition:

- defines a baseline for performance measurement and project control
- aids in communicating clear work responsibilities
A WBS is an outcome oriented list of tasks executed by the project team to accomplish stated project objectives
It is a foundation document that provides the basis for planning and managing project schedules, costs, and changes
