Software project scope verification is an essential aspect in project scope management that must be completed correctly to prevent project rework and improve project scope control. A software project scope is defined as the work that needs to be carried out to create the required product with its necessary functions and features. Moreover, software scope verification is crucial in the process of delivering exactly what the customer requested and minimizing project scope changes. Well-defined software scope eases the process of scope verification and contributes to project success. A deliverable-oriented WBS often serves as a roadmap to a well-defined software scope of work. This chapter expands the use of deliverable-oriented WBS to the scope verification process on the basis of this. A deliverable-oriented WBS, according to this article, is a method for software scope verification.
