The output is a list of high-level business processes and business content that are within the scope of the implementation project. The project scope includes the functional scope both in terms of SAP components as well as business processes/content, the geographical scope, the technical scope (both development and infrastructure) and the organizational scope of the project, including an idea of the extent of change that will be required. It also describes at summary-level what items are included and excluded from the project scope for all areas, and allocates business ownership for all items in scope.

Additional Information

It is as important to prepare an ‘out of scope’ statement as it is to prepare the ‘in scope’ statement in order to make clear what items have been considered, then rejected. The size and complexity of the scope statement is dependent upon the complexity of the project, however a scope definition must always contain all elements described aboveIt is also important to verify that the organization’s objectives are not lost in other details in the scope statement.
