Taking A Corrective Path Back to Data Scope Modeling A Corrective Path is a down-up path in the sequence of data modeling activities that happens when, during or at the conclusion of an activity, one or several issues are found that warrant the need to go back to a prior activity. A change of data scope will cause to retrace back to the Data Scope Modeling activity and require to follow the sequence of activities from that point.
Many things can cause the corrective path back to Data Scope Modeling to be taken. A common reason is a change made necessary due to the business adding to the data scope, or the realization the data scope was bigger than anticipated. Other reasons include a reduction of scope due to cost constraints, scope merge or transfer between projects, or part of the data scope of a project being moved to a separate project. Scope phase addition or modification is a common change in a DSM.
