What are Facilitated Workshops
Requirements workshops are focused sessions that bring key cross-functional stakeholders together to define product requirements. Stakeholders work together to identify their requirements and work through any confliction requirements.
What are Project deliverables?
Deliverables include both the outputs that comprise the product or service of the project, as well as ancillary results, such as project management reports and documentation. The deliverables may be described at a summary level or in great detail.
Why is Verify Scope important?
It allows us to compare the deliverables presented to the deliverables we want to present.
Who is the Project Lead?
An expert within their field, a project leader can effectively make plans that support project goals and lead their team to perform efficiently.
What is Schedule Fast tracking?
Give an example
a common project management schedule compressing technique that reworks project tasks so that some tasks are completed simultaneously, rather than sequentially.
Ex. Planning a party but only hanging up decorations after planning a venue
What is Brainstorming
A technique used to generate and collect multiple ideas related to project and product requirements.
What is Project Scope Statement
The project scope statement describes, in detail, the project’s deliverables and the work required to create those deliverables. The project scope statement also provides a common understanding of the project scope among project stakeholders.
What does Inspection include?
Inspection includes activities such as measuring, examining, and verifying to determine whether work and deliverables meet requirements and product acceptance criteria.
What is Project Lag?
When two or more tasks that are dependent on each other are slowed down by an error along the way.
What is Schedule Crashing?
a schedule compression technique in which you bring in additional resources to complete two tasks simultaneously.
What are Group creativity techniques used for or what are they?
They are used as methods to generate ideas within a group of people or stakeholders
What is WBS (Work Breakdown Structure)? Or why do we use it?
The project scope statement describes, in detail, the project’s deliverables and the work required to create those deliverables. The project scope statement also provides a common understanding of the project scope among project stakeholders.
What are Accepted Deliverables?
Deliverables that meet the acceptance criteria are 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.
What is the Gantt Chart
a project management tool that illustrates a project plan.
What is Resource Leveling?
a resource management technique that can help teams better accommodate resource constraints and predict project timelines.
What is a Requirements Management Plan
Documents how requirements will be analyzed, documented, and managed throughout the project.
What is WBS Dictionary?
Document generated by the Create WBS process that supports the WBS. The WBS Dictionary provides more detailed descriptions of the components in the WBS.
Why do we use Work Performance Measurements?
Tells us how our planned vs. actual technical performance compare and is a good way to keep stakeholders informed on the project and project team.
What is Three-point estimates?
The values range from 15 days (optimistic) to 30 days (pessimistic). A duration of 24 days is deemed to be the most likely amount of time needed for the completion of the work.
What is the Critical Path Method?
Give an example
a technique where you identify tasks that are necessary for project completion and determine scheduling flexibilities
Ex. ES = Early Start (the earliest time the task can commence based on constraints / dependencies)
What is Requirements Traceability Matrix
Is a table the links requirements to their origin and traces them throughout the project life cycle.
What is a Scope baseline?
The approved version of a scope statement, work breakdown structure (WBS), and its associated WBS dictionary, a component of the project management plan. Components of the scope baseline include Project Scope Statement, WBS and WBS Dictionary.
What is Variance Analysis?
Project performance measurements are used to assess the magnitude of variation from the original scope baseline.
What is Parametric Estimating?
a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables to calculate an estimate for activity parameters, such as cost, budget, and duration.
What is Schedule Network Analysis?
Give an example
raphical representation of a schedule showing each sequenced activity and the time it takes to finish each one.
Ex. Showing the steps on a flow chart for a lab activity in a science class.
