Scope
Definition
The defined boundaries of what is included in a project.
In Plain English
Scope is like a property boundary—it defines what is inside your project and what is outside.
Real-World Example
Your website scope might include 10 pages, a contact form, and mobile design, but not e-commerce.
Why It Matters for Your Work
Clear scope prevents misunderstandings, surprise costs, and project delays.
Common Mistake
Leaving scope vague. "A nice website" is not scope. Specific deliverables are.
