=__1. Introduction__= jkhjl =__2. Program Scope Management__ by Marium=

__2.1 Introduction:__ Project scope management includes the processes involved to ensure that the project consist of all the work required and only those activities which are required to complete the project successfully. In short, management the project scope is primarily concerned with defining and controlling what is and what is not included in the project.

In the context of project, the term scope can be defined as;

//** Product Scope: **// This mainly deals with the features and functions that characterize a product, service or result.

//**Project Scope:**// Mainly conceren the work that needs to be accomplished to deliver a product or service with specified features and function.

//**Scope Management Plan:**// Before proceeding for the scope management process, the project management team do a planning effort. This planning effort is the part of the development of project management plan process.This planning produces a scope management plan that provides guidence on :
 * How project scope will be defined
 * Documentation of the process
 * Verification of scope
 * Management and control of the process

The scope management plan may be formal or informal, highly detailed or broadly framed based on the needs of the project.

The current objective of our project is to identify the tasks which are needed to be included or implemented in the initiating process of the project and are not being introduced in the PMBOK.
 * //Objective of the Research//**

//**Strategy used**:// In the scope managment area, turing from **project to program** approach is being used. This means that we are taking project aspect for scope as an input and presenting the aspect of program as an output. In other words we are concentrating on the projects (running in a program) as an input to the system and producing a generalized scope statement as an output for the program as a whole.

__2.2 Input__ For development of a clear scope statement one has to have a clear idea about what are the objectives of the different projects running in the program. Following are the concerns for the input of the system:
 * Scope mission ( Objectives and goals of the project)
 * The goals should be realistic
 * Add the scope change request..
 * Scope Communication.
 * Project Scope Management Plan

__2.3 Tools and Techniques__ The tools and techniques used for the study are:
 * Interviews with sponsors, customers and team members for requirement collection
 * Enterprise Analysis
 * Expert judgment

__2.4 Output__

The preparation of detailed **program scope statement** is very critical for all the projects running in the program as it describe the priority level, deliverables, assumptions and constraints that are to be documented during initiation stage.

=__3. Program Time Management__ by Baris=

__3.1 Introduction__

Program management is known as the process of managing several related projec t, often with the intention of improving an organization's performance. In order to manage a program in a successful way, the temporal relationships between related projects, local cultural and judicial constraints, project’s physical environments, and local working calendars should be carefully considered at the very beginning of the initiating process groups. Therefore, developing a multidimensional preliminary program schedule is created and elaborated as unique entry of knowledge area of Program Time Management Initiating Process Group for the purpose of managing the projects, that the program includes, in proper way.

__3.2 Inputs__
 * Time frames for each project to be specified within the program
 * Working hours with respect to local calendars
 * Local and international labor law
 * HR-Cultural backgrounds
 * Physical environments of projects.
 * Lessons learned

__3.3 Tools and Techniques__
 * Expert Judgment
 * Decomposition
 * Develop priorities
 * Networking
 * Cross-Cutting (1)

__3.4 Output__
 * Preliminary Program Schedule
 * Prioritized Project(s) and aligned projects
 * Legal Protection
 * Permanent information for future projects or programs

__3.5 Explanation of the new process__

**(1).** //**Cross-cutting** is an editing technique most often used in films to establish action occurring at the same time in two different locations. In a cross-cut, the camera will cut away from one action to another action, which can suggest the simultaneity of these two actions.//
