Scope:
As a PM, it is your role to ensure that the project scope is clearly defined and understood. When conducting the initial requirements, ask as many questions as possible and do not assume that what you think is what the client wants. Assumptions can be very expensive at times.
Requirements should be:
Complete
Feasible
Consistent
Demonstrable
Focus on ''what'' not ''how'', ''needs'' not ''wants''. Ask "What else..."
You will be amazed at how much information you gather from just asking questions.
Of course project scope can change during or even before the project starts. What should you do in case of changes? Document it! Explain to the client how this changes the project budget and schedule or even quality, if it touches on the materials or processes to be used.
