Agree with mohamed hamdy kamal

if the product scope increases then Project scope increases.

so Y=f(X)

Project scope(Y) refers to all the needs to be addressed in order to create the product, service or result. Which is derived from the features, characteristics and functions of the product, service or result.(and Scope of a Product refers to the features, characteristics and functions of the product, service or result)(x)

The project scope and the product scope are bound to each other. The product

scope constitutes the characteristics and features of the product that the project

creates. The end result of the project is measured against the requirements for that

product. The project scope is the required

work to deliver the product. Throughout

the project execution, the work is measured

against the project plan to verify that the

project is on track to fulfill the product

scope. The product scope is The project scope and the product scope are bound to each other. The product

The Product is one of the components of the project.

Therefore, if the product scope increases then Project scope increases.

And if the product scope decreases then Project scope decreases.

 

 

Then they are proportional Y = F(X)

That's right. As the product scope increases, the project scope gets increased. Y = f(X) {Y - Proect Scope, X - Product scope}

In this equation X represents the input of the process and Y the output of the procees and f the function of the variable X.

Y is the dependent output variable of a process. It is used to monitor a process to see if it is out of control, or if symptoms are developing within a process. It is a function of the Xs that contribute to the process. Once quantified through Design of Experiment, a transfer function Y=f(X) can be developed to define the relationship of elements and help control a process.

Y is the output measure, such as process cycle time or customer satisfaction. f is the letter representing “function” (what the value(s) of X(s) does/do for Y (the output). X(s) is/are any process input(s) (variables) having assigned or inherent values(s) that is/are involved in producing the output.

For example, if you call your major department store to ask a question, the ability to have your question answered (Y) is a function (f) of the wait time, the number of people answering the phones, the time it takes to talk with the representative, the representative’s knowledge, etc. All of these X’s can be defined, measured and improved

I used google to understand this and posted

Simply put, the product scope instructs us on what the final deliverable(s) should entail/contain. The Project scope is designed to achieve the product scope.

Positive relationship

If the product scope increases the project scope increases

That is clear.

Yes, the project scope will increase if the product scope increases then we can express it as Y=f(X) where Y stands for the project scope and X stands for the product scope.
