Product Scope Description

A written narrative that explains what the product will include, describing its features, characteristics, and boundaries.

Key Points

  • It is a textual, documented description of the product's features, functions, and attributes.
  • Clarifies what is in and out of scope for the product, helping prevent scope creep.
  • Provides a foundation for creating the WBS and for defining acceptance criteria.
  • Should align with approved requirements and be updated through formal change control.

Example

A company is building an e-commerce website. The product scope description states that the site must support guest checkout, credit card and PayPal payments, display inventory in real time, load pages within 2 seconds under 1,000 concurrent users, comply with PCI-DSS, and support the latest versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox. It also specifies exclusions such as no native mobile app in this release.
