Verify Scope
a form, mold or pattern used as a guide to make something
Templates
Used to help plan, organize, and manage resource
pools and develop resource elements
Project Management Software

Precedence Diagram Method
Documents how requirements will be analyzed, documented, and managed throughout the project.
Requirements Management Plan
the process of monitoring the status of the project and product scope and managing changes to the scope baseline.
Control Scope
the process of project planning in waves as the project proceeds and later details
become clearer
Rolling wave planning
a technique that uses information from a similar
past project in order to estimate the cost and
duration of a planned project.
Analogous Estimating
technique where you identify tasks that are
necessary for project completion and determine
scheduling flexibilities
Critical Path Method
methods used to generate ideas within a group of people or stakeholders
Group creativity techniques
formally signed off and approved by the customer or sponsor. Formal documentation received from the customer or sponsor acknowledging formal stakeholder acceptance of the project’s deliverables.
Accepted Deliverables
a management tool that is used to delineate a point in a project schedule
Project Milestone
statistical and accuracy-based technique for
calculating the time, cost, and resources needed for
project success
Parametric Estimating
used to perform Schedule Network Analysis that
considers task dependencies, limited resource
availability, and buffers
Critical Chain Method
Bring together prequalified stakeholders and subject matter experts to learn about their expectations and attitudes about a proposed product, service, or result. A trained moderator guides the group through an interactive discussion.
Focus groups
includes activities such as measuring, examining, and verifying to determine whether work and deliverables meet requirements and product acceptance criteria.

teams better accommodate resource constraints and
predict project timelines

someone who fulfills many of the duties of a project manager but may not have
the experience or certification to gain the full PM title
Project Lead
used in management and information systems
applications for the construction of an approximate
probability distribution representing the outcome of
future events, based on very limited information
Three point estimates
a technique used in project management to shorten
an already developed schedule
Schedule Compression
