Elements and Performance Criteria

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Conduct project scope definition activities	1.1 Develop and confirm procedures for project authorisation with an appropriate authority for commitment of resources and effort 1.2 Establish agreement of desired project outcomes with relevant stakeholders 1.3 Develop scope management plan to determine scoping requirements
2. Define and plan scoping project requirements and process solutions	2.1 Critically analyse needs in consultation with client and relevant stakeholders to verify project scope 2.2 Prepare project specifications with project objectives, deliverables, constraints, exclusions, assumptions and principal work activities for delivery of products and services 2.3 Determine and agree measurable project outcomes and benefits to enable quantified evaluation of program performance 2.4 Develop and communicate scope definition, scope management strategies and plans to stakeholders, and seek agreement 2.5 Align program scope to business requirements and organisational strategy
3. Manage scoping process	3.1 Conduct regular program reviews to measure project performance and ensure stated program, business and strategic objectives are met 3.2 Establish and maintain the change management system to form the basis of ongoing scope management 3.3 Conduct reviews of scope changes and take action to ensure project and program objectives are achieved or modified 3.4 Measure project outcomes against defined program scope and aligned strategic objectives 3.5 Communicate results of program outcomes to appropriate authority 3.6 Manage the impact of scope changes within established time, cost and quality constraints according to change control procedures and to meet project objectives 3.7 Review the project planning process and document recommendations for improvements to future projects
