International Football Tournament Stadium & Digital Ticketing Project
- Document Information
- Project Name: International Football Tournament Stadium & Digital Ticketing Project
- Project Manager: Alex
- Document Owner: Project Management Office (PMO)
- Parent Document: Project Management Plan
- Version: 1.0
- Approval Date: 01 December 2025
- Status: Approved / Controlled
- Purpose
This Scope Management Plan defines how project scope will be defined, validated, and controlled throughout the project lifecycle.
Its objectives are to:
- ensure a shared understanding of project boundaries,
- prevent uncontrolled scope expansion,
- protect benefit-enabling deliverables,
- support transparent decision-making when changes are requested.
- Scope Definition Approach
3.1 Scope Definition
Project scope will be defined through:
- approved Requirements Documentation,
- the Project Scope Statement,
- the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and WBS Dictionary.
Scope definition will follow a progressive elaboration approach, consistent with the hybrid delivery model.
3.2 Tailoring for Hybrid Delivery
Predictive (Stadium Construction):
- Scope defined upfront at a detailed level
- Changes tightly controlled due to cost and regulatory impact
Agile (Digital Ticketing Platform):
- High-level features defined initially
- Detailed scope refined incrementally via backlog elaboration
- Only approved features contribute to the scope baseline
- Scope Baseline Components
The Scope Baseline consists of:
- Project Scope Statement
- Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
- WBS Dictionary
The Scope Baseline is approved as part of the Project Management Plan and may only be changed through Integrated Change Control.
- Requirements Management Interface
Although detailed in the Requirements Management Plan, scope control relies on:
- Requirements Documentation
- Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM)
The RTM ensures:
- every approved requirement maps to a deliverable,
- no deliverable exists without an approved requirement.
- Scope Validation
6.1 Validation Method
Scope validation will be performed through:
- formal inspections,
- walkthroughs,
- demonstrations (for digital increments),
- acceptance reviews with authorized stakeholders.
6.2 Acceptance Authority
- Stadium deliverables:
Accepted by the Infrastructure Authority and Safety Regulators - Digital ticketing deliverables:
Accepted by the Digital Government Agency and Operations
Formal acceptance is documented before any deliverable is considered complete.
- Scope Control
7.1 Change Identification
Scope changes may originate from:
- stakeholders,
- regulatory bodies,
- risk responses,
- integration constraints.
All scope change requests must be:
- documented,
- assessed for impact on scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, and benefits.
7.2 Change Control Process
- Scope changes are processed through Integrated Change Control
- Approval authority depends on impact thresholds
- Emergency changes are documented retrospectively
No work outside the approved scope baseline is permitted without approval.
- Preventing Scope Creep
To prevent scope creep:
- informal requests are redirected to formal change requests,
- backlog items without approval are not implemented,
- scope boundaries are reinforced during governance reviews.
Special attention is given to:
- late political requests,
- “just one more feature” demands,
- changes presented as operational necessities.
- Relationship to Benefits
Scope decisions are evaluated against:
- the Benefits Management Plan,
- impact on benefit realization,
- risk of benefit erosion.
Changes that do not protect or enhance benefits are escalated for governance review.

- Scope-Related Metrics
Scope performance will be monitored using:

- scope-related risks materialized.
- Updates and Maintenance
This plan:
- is reviewed during major planning updates,
