Which term describes the document outlining the project's goals and the work to be performed?

• A. Intent (scope) of work
• B. Patch and paint
• C. Riser
• D. RFI

Answer: (A)

The document that outlines what will be done, the goals, and the work to be performed is the scope of work. It sets the project’s goals, deliverables, tasks, boundaries, and responsibilities, so everyone knows what’s included and what’s not. In a fire alarm project, this would cover installing or upgrading devices, wiring, testing procedures, acceptance criteria, and any standards to follow, ensuring the client and contractor share the same expectations and reducing the chance of scope changes later. The other terms refer to different things: patch and paint is cosmetic work, a riser is the vertical space for pipes or cables, and an RFI is a request for information used to clarify uncertainties.
