When defining an initiative, the sponsor insists on a compressed timeline, the marketing manager requires wider brand exposure, and the finance director demands strict cost management. Which action best supports creating a high-level scope description that accommodates these demands?
Concentrate on meeting the timeline first and then add any marketing and finance requirements subsequent to sponsor satisfaction.
Develop a coordinated scope that reflects deliverables and balances timing, brand impact, and cost considerations through discussions with each stakeholder group.
Adopt a generalized scope description that gradually evolves to capture different objectives as program activities move through later phases.
A negotiated high-level scope statement clarifies the focus areas for all relevant stakeholders and sets realistic performance boundaries. The best response incorporates each party’s goals through a collaborative process, outlining budget and schedule constraints, while managing expectations for brand visibility. A scope that is too loose creates confusion and encourages scope drift. A timeline-first approach downplays vital interests in marketing and finance, causing potential conflicts later.
