What does SCOPE mean in Scrabble?
noun
The full range of matters, activities, or subjects that a plan, document, discussion, or piece of work covers.
Scope marks the outer edge of what is included, so a project's scope tells everyone what work belongs to it and, just as importantly, what does not. Widening the scope partway through a task, often called scope creep, is a common way for projects to run late and over budget. The word can also describe the range of a device, such as the field a telescope or microscope lets you see, which is the older, more literal sense it grew from.
How SCOPE is used
Common in everyday, technical, and business writing to describe the boundaries of a subject, task, or investigation.
- The report's scope was limited to sales figures from the last two years.
