1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed project is the construction of an under-water art museum that shall include the art pieces of
the European culture. The aim of the business is to improve the fragile marine eco-system and promote the
top-level tourist destination. Conservation of seas and protection of marine life has become a necessity in
the present times. The document covers the scope statement for the project and includes the business
objective comprising of the business need, product description, deliverables, product acceptance criteria,
project constraints, and assumptions. The details of the project scope as the items in an out of the scope are
also covered.
2. BUSINESS OBJECTIVE
2.1. Business Need/Opportunity/Objectives
Following are key business objectives are as follows:
 To improve fragile marine eco-system.
 To generate benefits for areas of islands such as bars, restaurants, hotels, etc.
 To promote top-level tourist destination.
 To turn island into international destination / reference for the people who are fighting for
the conservation of seas.
 To facilitate sustainable growth of the island economy.
2.2. Product Description
The proposed under-water art museum shall:
 Provide a tourist destination having art pieces of Europe culture.
 Provide a reference place for volunteers to discuss over the rising issues of ocean
conservation.
 Provide an extra source of income for island maintenance.
 Corrosion-resistant sculptures depicting the ways oceans can be used.
 Under-water museum which will not interfere with natural reefs
2.3. Deliverables
Following are key deliverables of the proposed project:
3

 Natural laboratory for allowing various research for ocean conservations.
 Submarine art pieces from all over Europe i.e. sculptural ensemble.
 Place for specialized fairs which take place in European continent.
 Place to allow tourists to rediscover the beauty of Lanzarote and teach them to respect the
environment.
 All concrete sculptures are pH-neutral in 50m2 artificial reef.
2.4. Product Acceptance Criteria
Following are key acceptance criteria of proposed system are as follows:
 Sculptures have been installed as per the time schedule along with a routine to be follow-
up manual in case a sculpture get eroded before the time schedule.
 Under-water marine life remain unaffected and it has been checked from time to time.
2.5. Project Constraints
Following are key acceptance criteria of proposed system are as follows:
 The project needs to be completed by December 2017.
 The proposed project should be completed within the assigned budget of 700,000
 Any change in the design of the museum shall not be considered once the placement of art
museum starts.
 Sculptures cannot be installed near protected areas / habitats of endangered species.
 Sculptures should not interfere with any natural reefs.
 Museum can be closed only for 10 days in a year to combat extreme winds.
2.6. Project Assumptions
Following are key project assumptions of proposed system are as follows:
 The translation of text written everywhere in the museum shall be done by the customer only. If
some customers are not well-versed then a guide can be hired to do the same for them.
 Tickets are easily accessible by the customers.
 The location of the project allows the project owners to maintain the ecological balance of the
island and this can be reached within the assigned budget.
 The identified distance from the cables will not get tangled with the sculptures.
 The corrosion effect of sculptures, which are installed in phase 1, will remain unaffected till the
second phase of sculptures is installed.
 All resources are 100% committed throughout the project (Hernandez, 2018).
