A wastewater plant upgrade scope describes new tanks and controls but omits temporary bypass pumping required while the plant stays online. What is the main scope problem?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the plant must stay online, temporary bypass pumping is not a nice-to-have—it is enabling work. Leaving it out of scope is a completeness gap that will bite during construction.
Full Explanation
Scope completeness includes necessary enabling activities required to deliver the primary result safely. Omitting temporary bypass pumping while the plant remains online creates a material gap. Enabling work appropriately belongs in project scope when it is required for delivery; portfolio placement or labeling the effort as operations does not fix the omission.
