The aggregate of the work that must be completed to deliver a work product is called project scope. Consequently, project scope is all of the project work.

For big, costly, and predictable projects, the project work is decomposed and presented as work breakdown structure or WBS. This document may be accompanied by a project scope statement, which is a summary of WBS and WBS dictionary, which defines the terms that WBS uses.

In project management, the project scope becomes the scope baseline when and if the customer or customer's representative approves it. Unless the customer or its representative approves any deviation, a project manager shouldn't start any execution of the project without the baseline.

Predictable projects often have 4 phases. The initiating phase stops when the need of the project is realized, the source of its budget is identified, and at least one person on each side of the project work is personalized. The planning phase stops when project baselines are approved. The executing phase stops when the customer or customer's representative accepts the work product. The closing phase ends when all the deliverables are delivered and all the payments are made.

Life is life, things happen, and no project can be fully predicted. If any of project baselines cannot be met, a project manager makes a change request for the customer or customer's representative to approve or decline.

The phases may or may not be consecutive as well. For instance, if the project manager quits before the project closure, the initiating phase should be re-open and a new project manager should be appointed. All the phases completely end when the closing phase ends.
