Explanation of Solution
Levels of scope:
The three levels of scope are:
- Workgroup
- Enterprise
- Inter-enterprise
Workgroup processes:
Workgroup processes achieve goals of a particular department by implementing groupwork.
Example: Professors’ time table manager, subject manager, workload manager.
Enterprise processes:
Enterprise processes provide the organization to sustain longer and also it supports the activities performed in various departments.
Example: Students’ events manager.
Inter-enterprise processes:
Inter-enterprise processes provide two or more independent organization to sustain longer and also it supports the activities performed in various departments.

Characteristics:
Scope | Examples | Characteristics |
Workgroup | Timetable manager, subject manager and workload manager for the professors. | It contains 10 to 100 users. It is used by professors from the university. |
Enterprise information system | Events manager for students | It contains 100 to 1000 users. It is used by students as well as professors. |
