Project Scope
3. Set Scope
Scope means deciding exactly what will be included in the first version of your application.
A professional engineer does not try to build every single idea at once. Setting a strict scope helps team members avoid confusion, burnout, and unnecessary project delays. It ensures that the initial release remains small, clear, and realistic.
💡 Practical Example: Expense Tracker (Version 1 / MVP)
✅ Included (In Scope)
- Add income and expenses
- View simple text summary
❌ Deferred (Out of Scope)
- No visual charts or graphs yet
- No advanced AI budget insights yet
“Scope saves time and keeps the project focused.”
