Section 2.0 of the Project Management Guidelines
A clear definition and statement of the areas of impact and boundaries of a project should be established, no matter how small the project.  A project should be achievable within a relatively fixed timeframe and resource constraints, and the scope of a project should take these factors into consideration.  This process of planning and scoping a project is also covered through actions surrounding the creation of initial planning documents.
