Clear communication and understanding between clients and designers are essential to meet client expectations. The project scope should clarify requirements from start to finish to avoid unintended surprises derailing the project. The following are some core questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Project Goals<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Simple definition of a project\u2019s scope and objective and how to accomplish it &#8211; e.g., design an e-commerce&nbsp;site or mobile app with straightforward functionality.<\/li><li><strong>Project Requirements<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Defining functional requirements for the website such as how content is managed, whether it is an e-commerce site, whether a mobile version is required, or will responsive design suffice?<\/li><li><strong>Project Elements<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Specifying deliverables, such as content creation, specific programming needs, and any work other than design work to complete the project. Set deadlines for these items to keep to the schedule.<\/li><li><strong>Project Organization<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Listing who is responsible for different project sections \u2013 an organizational map for project progression. Includes programming or design deadlines, ongoing client review and approval, and deadlines.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This information enables drafting a project scope document and spearheading the&nbsp;design&nbsp;project. In addition, a comprehensive understanding of goals, needs, and expectations provides all project members with the knowledge they need to build an excellent site&nbsp;for the client and on time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project scope is the blueprint of how a site designer will create a client\u2019s website.
