According to our text Successful Project Management, a project scope document is the basis for the Work Breakdown Structure. It describes what needs to be done in order to produce the deliverables, satisfy the sponsor/customer, meet requirements for the deliverables, and accomplish the objective. It includes the customer requirements, SOW, Deliverables, acceptance criteria, and the WBS. It is important to clearly define it because so that the stakeholders understand the scope of the project, and it also establishes the baseline for any changes that may be made to the scope during the performance of the project.
Also according to our text, a WBS is a hierarchical decomposition of the project work scope into work packages that produce the project deliverables.
A RAM illustrates who will be responsible for the work. it designates the individuals responsible for accomplishing the work items in the WBS. It emphasizes who is responsible for each work item and shows each individual’s role in supporting the overall project.
The WBS and the RAM are related because the RAM shows all the work items associated with each work item in the WBS, as well as all the work items associated with each individual.
Our text explains that an activity is a piece of work that consumes time. It does not necessarily require human effort; for example, waiting for the building paint to dry.
