What does a project scope define?

• A. Contains the project charter and stakeholders.
• B. Defines the work required to complete the deliverables.
• C. Lists the risk management plan.
• D. Specifies the project budget only.

Answer: (B)

Scope defines the work required to complete the deliverables and meet the project requirements. It describes exactly what work will be done, what will be produced, and the boundaries of the project—what is in scope and what is out of scope. This focus helps prevent scope creep by making acceptance criteria and deliverables clear from the start. It’s not about the project charter or stakeholders (those belong to initiation), nor about risk management planning or the budget. So defining the work needed to finish the deliverables is the best fit.
