Details:

Project Management Plan: The scope management plan provides guidelines for how scope changes will be managed, controlled, and documented.

Work Performance Data: Information about the project's progress, including scope-related data such as completed deliverables, work performed, and any variances.

Enterprise Environmental Factors: External factors such as industry standards, organizational culture, and marketplace conditions can influence how scope is managed.

Organizational Process Assets: Past project files, templates, and lessons learned related to scope management provide valuable insights for planning.

Variance Analysis: Comparing actual project performance to the planned scope to identify any deviations or variances.

Performance Reviews: Regular reviews of the project's performance against the scope baseline to identify any scope-related issues or changes.

Change Control System: A formal process for submitting, reviewing, approving, and implementing scope changes, including a change control board (CCB) or similar decision-making body.

Scope Management Software: Tools and systems used to document and track changes to project scope, including version control and change tracking features.

Workarounds: Temporary solutions or adjustments made to address scope-related issues without formal changes to the project scope.

Work Performance Information: Data and information about the project's scope performance, including any variances or deviations from the scope baseline.

Change Requests: Requests for changes to the project scope, including additions, modifications, or deletions of project deliverables or requirements.

Project Management Plan Updates: Changes to the project management plan, specifically the scope management plan, to reflect approved scope changes and adjustments.

Project Document Updates: Updates to project documentation, such as the requirements traceability matrix (RTM) and other scope-related documents, to reflect approved changes and adjustments.
