Elements of Competency
•
Each unit of study is composed of elements of
competency
•
Manage Project Scope comprises 3 elements of
competency –
1. Conduct project authorisation activities
2. Conduct project scope definition activities
3. Manage application of scope controls
•
Elements of competency are further broken down into
performance criteria, these can be found on the next
slides
BSBPMG501A Manage Application of Project Integrative Processes
1. Conduct Project Authorisation Activities
1. Project authorisation is confirmed with a higher authority
as the basis for future project management activity and
commitment of resources and effort
• This includes assigning responsibilities for Change
Control and decision making with respect to material
changes to Time, Cost and Scope.
• This is commonly performed in conjunction with Project
Integration Management
• The Project Charter is the initial document which
authorises the start of a project, this is performed as
part of Project Integration Management
BSBPMG501A Manage Application of Project Integrative Processes
2. Conduct Project Scope Definition Activities
1. Project objectives, deliverables, constraints and
assumptions and principal work activities are identified
with guidance of a higher project authority and agreed
between the project team and the client
2. Designated measurable project benefits and outcomes
are established to enable quantified evaluation of
project performance
3. Scope management plan is developed and
implemented
BSBPMG501A Manage Application of Project Integrative Processes
3. Manage Application of Scope Controls
1. Agreed scope management procedures and processes
are implemented
2. The impact of scope changes is managed within
established time, cost and quality constraints according
to change control procedures and to meet project
objectives
3. Progress is reviewed and results recorded to assess the
effectiveness of scope management procedures
