What is the developing the project charter?
This document contains and integrates plans for managing the following: scope, requirements, schedule, cost, quality, resources, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholder engagement.
What is the Project Management Plan?
This process represents the integration aspect of project executing - the part of the project where the team does the work to build the product of the project.
What is Direct and Manage Project work?
This work encourages a holistic view of project performance. It includes activities such as analyzing and tracking risks, performing quality control activities, assessing possible outcomes across the project using data analysis techniques (including alternatives, cost-benefit, earned value, root cause, trend, and variance analysis), and reviewing changes and corrective actions made on the project to see if they were effective.
What is Monitor and Control Work?
This is the last phase of the project that is often overlooked or done incompletely.
What is Close Project or Phase?
Who is the project sponsor?
These 3 baselines are together referred to as "The Performance Measurement Baseline."
What are scope, schedule, and cost baselines?
This process includes sharing new processes, successes, etc., internally within the project, as well as making that knowledge accessible throughout the entire organization.
What is Manage Project Knowledge?
These are the 3 main categories of change.
What are corrective action, preventative action, and defect repair?
In the Library Case Study:
During the grand opening of the library, patrons are asked to complete a survey about their thoughts about the new facility.
What activity does this demonstrate?
What is solicit customer feedback?
In an agile or hybrid approach, instead of a formal change control board, the project charter may authorize this person to have the authority to make decisions regarding change management and prioritizing requirements.
Who is the product owner?
In agile environments, this is where project/product requirements, including risk management activities, are prioritized. This maximizes the team's ability to deliver value through incremental delivery of a product features while maintaining an established schedule and budget.
What is the backlog?
This system ensures work is only started when a formal authorization is given. For example, it prevents a plumber and an electrician from showing up to work in one small area at the same time.
What is a work authorization system?
This process ensures that as changes are accepted, updates and re-planning efforts are completed and project artifacts updated. The approved changes are implemented as a function of Direct and Mange Project Work, Control Quality, and Control Procurements.
What is Integrated Change Controller?
Gathering and updating the knowledge base is an important part of project closure.
What are "final lessons learned?"
This project artifact is created when developing a project charter. It is updated throughout the project as assumptions and constraints change and new assumptions are uncovered.
What is the assumption log?
This plan details how the PM will manage changes to the documentation, including which organizational tools will be used in this effort. It is essential to ensure all relevant stakeholders are aware and have access to the latest versions of the project management plan components.
What is the configuration management plan?
This type of knowledge may provide context or explanation to explicit knowledge. It is not easily documented. It includes emotions, experience, and ability, which are difficult to communicate in words and symbols but can be learned through job shadowing or apprenticeship.
What is tacit knowledge?
In an agile or hybrid environment, this person authorizes changes that would not significantly alter the outcome or benefits of the project.
Who is the product owner?
This type of analysis, performed during the project closure phase, examines project variables such as schedule, budget, and risks to understand their impact on the project's outcomes and identify variances to the plan.
What is "regression analysis"?
These need to be met so that the PM can close or terminate the project or phase. These are defined in the Project Charter.
What are the project exit criteria?
In a predictive environment, the project management plan is designed to be as complete as possible when the project executing begins. In adaptive environments, the plan can be updated more frequently as the project progresses. This is known as what?
What is progressive elaboration?
This agile concept describes the phenomena of communication and knowledge sharing being facilitated and enhanced simply by team members being in proximity to one another.
What is osmotic communication?
The first step in response to a customer request to add scope.
Why is it necessary to add this scope?
This function, crucial during the project closure phase, involves ensuring that all project constraints are reported on, final performance reporting is completed, and all project pieces are pulled together into a cohesive whole.
What is "integration management"?
