omfangsbeskrivelse

Omfangsbeskrivelse is a document used in project management and procurement to define the scope of a project, contracting work, or a system development. It describes what is included and excluded, the overall objectives, and the boundaries of the effort. It serves as a basis for planning, budgeting, and evaluating deliverables.

Typical contents include project objectives, list of deliverables, a detailed scope description, in-scope versus out-of-scope items, milestones and deadlines, acceptance criteria, constraints (time, budget, regulatory), assumptions, dependencies, interfaces, quality requirements, and governance and change control. It clarifies expectations for stakeholders and suppliers and helps prevent scope creep.

In practice, omfangsbeskrivelse is often produced early in a project or procurement process, sometimes as part of a requirements specification or tender documentation. It is reviewed and approved by sponsors or a steering committee and used as a reference throughout planning and execution. The document may be revised as the project evolves, through formal change management.
