Scope Layout

There are a lot of mind map tools that are available that can help us in preparing the scope layout.
But topology is a primitive method can serve us, when such tool is not in place.

It presents a pictorial scope of requirements under consideration for the current product/project/module

Topological Space

1. Collection/group of classifications with certain attributes together with Module names for the product

2. A geometric object with n number of attributes that can be n dimensional

3. The expansion of the object has to be continuous
