These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:02,920 Once you have the objective, 2 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,950 you usually add assumptions and constraints 3 3 00:00:05,950 --> 00:00:07,880 with the three elements together providing 4 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,723 the first definition of the project scope. 5 5 00:00:12,220 --> 00:00:13,460 The assumptions and constraints 6 6 00:00:13,460 --> 00:00:15,540 are documented in separate sections, 7 7 00:00:15,540 --> 00:00:18,180 so the objective remains as a single stand-alone 8 8 00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:21,723 sentence focused on the top-level outcome and benefit. 9 9 00:00:23,500 --> 00:00:27,530 The assumptions are elements to assume will be true, 10 10 00:00:27,530 --> 00:00:29,163 and so simplify planning. 11 11 00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:33,140 For example, assume internal resources 12 12 00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:35,870 have all the skills required so there will be no need 13 13 00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:37,993 to plan for hiring or contracting. 14 14 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,020 Assume the office space will be available for consultants, 15 15 00:00:42,020 --> 00:00:44,323 so no need to plan space acquisition. 16 16 00:00:45,380 --> 00:00:48,710 Assume the previous project ABC will finish on time, 17 17 00:00:48,710 --> 00:00:51,053 so no need to plan any work-arounds. 18 18 00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:55,050 On the other hand, be realistic. 19 19 00:00:55,050 --> 00:00:57,780 If later, during planning, there's reason to be concerned 20 20 00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:00,900 that any assumptions might actually turn out not to be true, 21 21 00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:03,290 then you should review them carefully and consider 22 22 00:01:03,290 --> 00:01:05,690 whether you should include them in the risk planning, 23 23 00:01:05,690 --> 00:01:07,690 in case you need to have a back-up plan. 24 24 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,070 The constraints are items that are known to be true 25 25 00:01:13,070 --> 00:01:15,460 for sure, by fact or by fiat, 26 26 00:01:15,460 --> 00:01:17,523 and so must must be built into planning. 27 27 00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:21,190 Any budget or schedule constraints 28 28 00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:23,760 are typically included in this section. 29 29 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,340 They can be included in the objective sentence itself, 30 30 00:01:26,340 --> 00:01:28,070 but it makes the objective sentence simpler 31 31 00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:30,010 and more targeted if they are placed 32 32 00:01:30,010 --> 00:01:31,710 in a separate constraints section. 33 33 00:01:33,370 --> 00:01:36,740 This section can also include any project level policies, 34 34 00:01:36,740 --> 00:01:39,853 standards, geographic limitations, et cetera. 35 35 00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:42,800 By restricting options, 36 36 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,313 constraints can actually make planning simpler. 37 37 00:01:46,970 --> 00:01:50,600 Once you have the objective, assumptions, and constraints, 38 38 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,243 you have a great baseline of the top-level project scope. 39 39 00:01:55,210 --> 00:01:57,460 Everything else in the project management process 40 40 00:01:57,460 --> 00:02:00,663 now has a defined target it is working towards. 3613
