1.2 What is the Scope Statement for a project?  What role does the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) have in such a statement?

Scope statement

A project scope statement defines all the works required to gain project goals. This means it defines the project budget, what the project will produce, achieve and deliver, and what the work breakdown structure includes (Burke, 2003). It also documents features and functions of the project, quality measures and performance requirements, technical specification and security issues. The key advantage of a scope statement is it provides quality work and quality products. Additionally, using scope statement project managers can easily measure and control project quality (Schwalbe, 2009).

1.4 What approaches exist to generate a budget for a specific project budget?

Top-down approach

In this approach, the budget is created by top and middle managers based on collective judgment. The project cost is estimated by mainly allocating the costs of the key project tasks. As the top-level manager creates a top-down budget, there is less possibility of errors and uncertainty regarding the budget. However, this approach needs lots of knowledge and experiences (Schwalbe, 2009).

Bottom-up budgeting

This approach includes a bottom level of employees along with the top managers in creating a budget for the project. This approach focuses on a work breakdown structure and/or action plan to identify elemental task and resource requirements. The key advantage of this approach is it determines budgets for every single activity from top to bottom. However, the budget may be unrealistic due to a lack of experience and knowledge (Schwalbe, 2009).

1.5 How can project risk arise? Outline the various responses to risk that may be taken within project management.

How project risks arise

Risk in a project refers to the uncertainty and occurrence that create difficulties for a project to be completed successfully on time (Pinto, 2013). Risks in the project may come from different sources that are outlined in the table below……………
