Initiating the Project - Problem Set 16

ProblemSet7-ProjectScopeStatementExercise.docxSCOPE STATEMENT
Instructions: Continuing to use the Week 2 Business Case project the exercise this week will require you to complete a scope statement similar to Exhibit 7.4 on page 219 of the textbook. Do not mimic the items provided in the Exhibit; you must identify those specific to your project.
Copy and paste the Business Case you completed on Week 2 into the section below.
Draft a two or three sentence scope description for this project.
Provide six (6) key deliverables that are required to consider the project to have been completed successfully. Then state what the Acceptance Criteria entails to consider these Key Deliverables completed. Deliverables and Acceptance Criteria need to follow SMART criteria. That means that these need to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely. This exercise only needs to identify six (6) of the potential Deliverables needed in the project. It does not mean to identify six (6) deliverables to complete the whole project. These Deliverables will be utilized to create a future WBS with Activity List. So again, be specific and utilize SMART criteria.
As an example, if your Project was to build a wooden fence around a field then one of your Key Deliverables would be: Install Fence Posts. The Acceptance Criteria could be: Five-foot fence posts have been installed every eight feet around the field. Posts are properly secured in concrete and plumb. (This could be more specific but this is sufficient for the exercise).
The final step will to be to define and identify Exclusions, Constraints and Assumptions. First, briefly define what these concepts are utilizing material from the weekly reading (textbook) in support of creating your definition. Then identify these items within the scope of your project and explain why these elements have been identified.

Elevator Pitch (100 words exactly):
Tesla company took a step higher to come up with electric vehicles. They wanted to bring something different to the industry and ensure that people experience something new in their lives. The company started this project in 2008 in Fremont, California. The cost of manufacturing the car is $28000 whereby the size of the of the project will have a front rear output of 615Kw. The battery of the car will have a capacity of 100kWh of lithium ion. One of the key things with the project is that it will cost one, at least one hour to supercharge the car.
Project Scope Statement
Scope Description:
The Tesla model 3 project develops an efficient electric vehicle that will be environmentally friendly. The project will concentrate of manufacturing high-power and light battery that will sustain the vehicle for long distance. Also, the project will integrate the electric components and car systems components.
Key Deliverables with acceptance criteria (product scope):
|
KEY DELIVERABLES 1. Engineering Report 2. Project Proposal 3. Design Drawing 4. Design Document 5. Product (Tesla model 3) 6. Strategic Report |
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA 1. Acceptance test cases for customers 2. Project feasibility test 3. Working simulation test 4. Completeness and clarity tests 5. Complete working product meeting product specification 6. Clarity test |
Exclusions
Define:
The project exclusion describes things that are relevant but are out of the project boundaries. Their identification allows project managers to concentrate on objectives of the project (Dave, 2013).
Identify and Explain:
In the Tesla model 3 project exclusion include manufacturing other models that suits customer wants. The team is concentrating on manufacturing model 3 only.
Constraints
Define:
The project constrain are limitation that might impact the success of the implementation of the project (Timothy, Vittal, & Kathryn, 2016).
Identify and Explain:
Example of the constrains is the budget. Tesla has a set budget to manufacture model 3.
Assumptions
Define:
Assumption are the project things that are believed to be true during implementation.
Identify and Explain:
Example of the project assumptions for tesla project include material and labor available locally.
