In this episode you will learn:

- To select the correct requirements gathering tool—interviews for depth, focus groups for consensus, and prototypes for tangible feedback.

- The project scope statement is a detailed narrative of project work, while the WBS visually breaks down that work into smaller components.

- Product scope defines the final deliverable's features, whereas project scope outlines the work needed to create it.

- The key to preventing scope creep is combining a well-defined scope baseline with a strictly enforced, formal change control process.

- A memorable shortcut for the exam: The Scope **S**tatement **D**escribes the work, and the **W**BS **D**ecomposes the work.
