2. A brief scope statement for the Case Study project
The scope of the project is to renovate the current store of Royale Pizza within an
estimated budget of AU$40,000 in 4 months. The project delivery phases must be followed

project is not accomplished within time and budget or else, if it is found to be delay then
AU$300 will be penalized by the contractors. Apart from this a safety measure is also required
to be applied and considered by the project managers during the design and development of the
project to ensure its success. The scope of the company is to obtain a commercial profitability of
25%.
In order to reduce the workload from the associated project team members this large
project will be divided into small phases in terms of project design phase, project procurement ad
delivery phase, construction phase and installation and painting phase. The net duration planed
for the construction and interior of Pizza Store for Royale Pizza is 4 months. As per the division
it is determined that, in order to complete the design phase 1 month is required. Apart from that,
for the procurement, delivery method, construction and installation and planning phase a total
time of 2 months, 1 month and 2 months respectively will be needed by the project manager.
Project scope statement is comprises of two phases in terms of requirement gathering and
project scope defining y collecting needful information. The project scope needs to cover all the
elements that may satisfy the consumers. It is determined that project scope statement is referred
to as one of the most challenging task among the different project management activities.
