On the Publish scope statement document dialog, you can define these settings: Language - If you have defined translations for the solution, select the language in which you want to publish the solution. The elements in your solution that are not translated into this language are published in the original language. You can only publish in another language if this language is defined for the solution itself. So, for example, all content of the solution is translated to a specific language. However, no translation for this language is defined for the solution itself. In this case, you cannot publish in this language.Include business strategy - If this check box is selected, the strategy, as defined for the solution, is added to the document. This includes: Mission statement, goals, and metrics.Include business process descriptions - If this check box is selected, for each business process that is added to the document, the description is also added to the document.Scope and gap summary - If this check box is selected, for each business process that is added to the document, information is given on its scope and gap categorization. For example: This process is out of scope, categorized as fit.Include version number - If this check box is selected, the version number of each element is added to the document.Include change history - If this check box is selected, the change history of each element is added to the document.Number of change history records - You can define the maximum number of change history records that is published for each element.

Run workshops to define and approve the scope statement

Business analyst

Run workshops with the customer, and other relevant parties, to determine the scope of the project and the effort required to realize the project.

Define project scope

Business analyst

Define which business processes of the relevant solution are in or out of scope for the implementation project.

One of these scenarios is applicable:

  • No milestones defined
    Business processes can have these scope indicators:
    • Not specified - No scoping is done for the business process.
    • In scope - Either the business process itself or one of its child business processes is set to In scope.
    • Out of scope - The business process is set to Out of scope.
  • Milestones defined
    Business processes can have these scope indicators:
    • Not specified - No scoping is done for the business process.
    • [Milestone] - The business process is in scope for the milestone.
    • In scope - No scoping is done for the business process itself. One of its child business processes is in scope for a milestone.
    • Out of scope - The business process is set to Out of scope.

Publish scope statement
