Scope in 1987
In 1987, Walter Wawruck, management consultant wrote:
- Achieving the right results, in other words, fulfilling the scope objective, is the primary test of effective performance by project management
- It takes precedence over the constraints of deadlines and budgets
- The failure to manage and control this aspect of the objectives is a principle reason why projects fail
- In spite of its importance and its perceived bearing on project success, the management of scope is neglected in the literature, and likely as well in the practice of project management
- His observations still tend to be true to this day
