Creating the project scope statement is part of which process?

Manage Scope is not a standard PMBOK process; the related process is Control Scope, which monitors project scope after it is defined rather than creating the scope statement.

Collect Requirements gathers and documents stakeholder needs and produces requirements documentation and a requirements traceability matrix, not the project scope statement.

Define Scope is the PMBOK process responsible for creating a detailed project scope statement, which documents project deliverables, assumptions, constraints, and exclusions. It uses inputs such as requirements documentation and applies techniques like product analysis and expert judgment to produce this formal output.

Validate Scope is focused on obtaining formal stakeholder acceptance of completed deliverables, occurring during project monitoring and control, not scope definition.
