All about the Benjamins
This initial project management process involves defining how costs will be estimated, budgeted, managed, and controlled
What is Plan Cost Management?
In Agile project management, this technique involves assigning relative estimates to user stories or features.
What is story points estimation?
This method involves using historical data to estimate costs for similar projects.
What is analogous estimating?
Name one technique used to control project costs and manage changes to the project budget.
What is earned value management (EVM)?
a temporary and unique endeavor that aims to achieve specific objectives within a defined timeframe, budget, and scope
What is a project
What term means, what is the actual cost incurred for the work accomplished?
What is Actual Cost?
What ceremony is happening in this picture?
What is daily stand up?
In three-point estimation, these three values are used to calculate the expected cost.
What are optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely estimates?
This planning activity involves identifying risks and determining their potential impact on project costs.
What is risk assessment or risk analysis?
This document outlines the project's objectives, scope, deliverables, initial requirements and authorizes the project manager
What is a project charter?
What earned value term means "to forecast"
What is the estimate at completion?
This is an example of a
what is a burn down chart?
Once the budget is approved, this term refers to the original approved version against which project performance is measured.
What is the budget baseline?
This practice involves comparing actual project performance against the budgeted figures.
What is cost variance analysis
This is when your team wants to do extra work that is un planned to impress the customer
what is goldplating?
Having a back up plan in project management is often called a
What is contingency plan?
Agile teams prioritize tasks based on their value to the customer, following this cost management principle.
What is value-driven delivery or prioritization?
This reserve is added to a cost estimate to account for identified risks that may impact project costs.
What is a contingency reserve?
Project setup costs are an example of
Variable costs, Fixed cost
Overhead costs, Opportunity Cost
What is fixed cost?
The five phases of a project life cycle—initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing—are collectively known as this.
What is the project management process groups?
What is this
What is a WBS
Agile contracts often favor this type of agreement (contract) that allows for flexibility and adjusting requirements throughout the project.
What is a time and materials (T&M) contract
This is an example of what kind of estimating
What is bottom-up estimating
Which index does Scrooge McDuck monitor to measure performance is getting a large amount of worth out of every dollar spent
What is the Cost performance index?
This tool visually represents the relationship between cost, schedule, and scope in project management.
What is the Triangle of Constraints?
These help you manage the control costs of a project throughout completion. These figures depend on the project size and budget and help you stay within budgets and deadlines.
What is Control thresholds
This is the total effort estimate associated with user stories that were completed during an iteration. It increases when the agile team is mature
What is velocity?
This type of estimate is made at the initial stage of a project when there is limited information available.
What is a rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate?
This is refers to the expenses incurred due to failures and defects that occur because quality expectations were not met, encompassing both internal and external failure costs.
What is the cost of nonconformance?
This is a document that establishes the deliverables included in a project. It is a fixed reference against which project actuals will be measured.
What is Scope baseline?
