Answer 1

Mike needs to write the primary objectives of a project in a project plan. He should write this under the SCOPE section of the project plan.

Explanation:

• Project scope is the part of project planning that involves determining and documenting a list of specific project goals, deliverables, features, functions, tasks, deadlines, and ultimately costs.
• It is what needs to be achieved and the work that must be done to deliver a project.
• The Scope of Work (SOW) is the area in an agreement where the work to be performed is described.
• The SOW should contain any milestones, reports, deliverables, and end products that are expected to be provided by the performing party. The SOW should also contain a time line for all deliverables.
• The scope is simply all the work that needs to be done in order to achieve a projects objectives.
• A project scope, or project scope statement, is a tool used to describe the major deliverables of a project including the key milestones, high level requirements, assumptions, and constraints.
