1. Monitor & Control Project
Project Assumptions:
Mention that you are in INITIATE PROJECT phase, only planning the preliminary scope, schedule, budget and risk management planning information and identifying the stakeholders for the PROJECT EXECUTION phase, if the project gets approval to commence. This means you will not be include the other project management WBS activities in the project scope and schedule, and that there is only one project manager assigned to the project.

2. Scope Planning Concepts
Defines the design components, when assembled, is the project’s product
Product
Scope
WBS/Project Scope
Defines the groupings of work activities, to be built and integrated, tested and install to deliver the project’s product
Design components
Essentially the structure of work groupings to build, integrate the design components to become the product, test and install it
Installed, tested & integrated design components , aka project’s product
Essentially, the WBS is a DELIVERABLE oriented breakdown of project work into smaller chunks and a WBS’s deliverable is one of a project’s product’s design component

3. An example: A House Construction Project Its product scope elements
PRODUCT = House
Product Scope Elements
Foundation

Building Structure Deliverable
Interiors Deliverable

WBS Scope Elements

5. An example: A House Construction Project Its WBS scope elements
For a software project, the WBS Scope is influenced by the choice of SDLC methodology. Each WBS grouping will refer to a set or individual functional or non functional software design/PM/testing artefacts

8. Project Schedule Design
WBS Scope planning only identifies the static hierarchical structure of the SLDC and testing work activities that produce the software product
During SCHEDULING, you work out the interdependencies between the SDLC activities within and across each WBS work groups when you use the GANTT chart or NETWORK DIAGRAM. This is where the WBS model in SCOPE planning is different from the WBS in SCHEDULE Planning (both uses the same WBS elements through)
Use the NETWORK DIAGRAM to identify the critical path, stating why it is the most important aspect of Project Schedule Mgt work.

9. Project Schedule Design
Static WBS activities are reused in SCHEDULE planning in listing out the activities to be scheduled

11. Many ways to configure the SDLC activities in each sprint/iteration cycle eg

12. The specifics of what makes up agile (or even waterfall) Product Scope & WBS elements depends on the specific open or proprietary SDLC methodology used
EG SCRUM

13. Take Away Product Scope WBS Scope WBS Schedule
Identify the System Functions & Testing Deliverables for PROJECT EXECUTION PHASE
Identify the WBS work groups for delivering the major product scope elements
WBS is a static model of project work breakdown of activities
Schedule the WBS work groups, which require you to firstly understand the their workflow interdependencies.
WBS is a interdepended, scheduled workflow model
Design the Software Architecture Artefacts
Design the Software SDLC, testing & installation workflows to deliver software product
Design the time-schedule for executing Software SDLC, testing & installation workflows, including assigning appropriately skilled personnel's to the SDLC & testing work
