Followings are the elements that are must be included in scope statement-

1. First of all it contains the information about what is the need of this project. This part can be namnes as justification phase or purpose phase.

2. Next is the scope of the project that is what are the features of this project or the services provided by this project. It also include a brief description about the expected results of this project.

3. This phase include about the performence it should show after completion. There are many requirements depending on the project and at least we have to provide the high level requirements to complete the project.
