What does the scope baseline consist of?

Scope baseline — is a fixed and approved version of the project scope description, which serves as a basis for change control and management.

It typically consists of three main components:

1. Product Scope — description of the functions, characteristics, and quality of the final product.
2. Project Scope — a list of all work necessary to create the product.
3. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) — a hierarchical decomposition of the scope of work into manageable parts.

The scope baseline helps control changes to the project scope and serves as a benchmark for progress assessment and risk management.
