5. With the project scope, the view/vision of the project manager and the project team should be apparent, since this represents what they want to accomplish and what the deliverables are. As for the needs, they should be those of the shareholders or owner(s) that are either met or addressed.

Because of this, the scope should be the vision of the team, and that should be with the needs of shareholders/owners in mind. The items that need to be addressed in the scope include: objectives, goals, tasks, deadlines, deliverables, resources and cost.

First I would have to say that DOTCOM., much reorganize how the operational and project management team delegate and complete their project in a timely fashion without the situation of complaint.. Also the organization could implement a program that would help with making their clients more computer savvy, which will improve how fast they receive vital information from the clients themselves. with this plan in place operational and communication would be on a high and they also could do computer drafts for the project to send to client to review and give their point of view first and state any changes that they would implement before the final project is completed this way saving the project operational and design cost.

8. Dotcom.com needs create better project scopes for their project so they do not have problems at the end of the project. First the project manager needs to create a well-designed project scope in which includes the time frame of the project, budget, work and resources needed, and most important what are the customer desires or needs. The project manager needs to know what the customer really wants or want they need before starting a project. After the scope has been created the need to explain the scope to the top managers so they can approve of the project and decide whether or not more information is needed. Once the project has been started the project manager need to communicate to the client progress that has been made and explain how the project is turning. By explain the project the client can have a better understanding of what they are receiving at the end of the project. After they completed the project Dotcom.com should ensure that their clients know how to use their systems since most of their clients are not that computer savvy. This would ensure that the customers are satisfied with the product and no complain would be presented in the future
