- begins with a section that captures relevant project information;

- includes sections for listing the project benefits, project requirements, and project deliverables;
- includes sections for listing what the project does not include along with the success or acceptance criteria;
- provides a section for approving, approving with modifications, deferring, or rejecting the scope statement;
- provides prompts to insert the required modifications or provide additional comments; and
- includes a section for capturing approval of the scope statement.
