WBS = Work Breakdown Structure. Process for subdividing project deliverables and project work into smaller, more management components
What does WBS stand for and what is it?
100
Interviews, focus groups, Facilitation workshops, group decision making techniques, questionnaires, surveys, observations, prototypes (list at least 4 to get points)
What tools & techniques for the "Collect Requirements" process?
100
Unanimity, Majority, Plurality, Dictatorship
What are some "Group Decision Making Techniques"?
100
Project Charter, Stakeholder register
What is the inputs for "Collection Requirement" process?
100
Business requirements, delivery requirements, Project Management requirements, etc
What can be included in project requirements?
200
Its a plan that includes how requirements activities will be planned, trcked & reported, how changes will be initiated and how any impact will be analyzed & the authorization levels requried to approve these changes.
What is a "Requirements Management Plan"?
200
Expert Judgment Product Analysis Alternatives Identification Facilitated Workshops
What are tools & techniques for "Define Scope"?
200
Brainstorming, nominal group technique, The Delphi Techique, Idea / Mind Mapping, Affinity diagram
What are "Group Creativity" techniques/activities?
200
Product scope description Product acceptance criteria Project deliverables Project exclusions Project constraints
What does a "detailed project scope statement" include?
200
Requirement documentation, Requirement management plan, Requirement traceability matrix
What is the outputs for "Collect Requirements" process?
300
It is used to review various scenarios to bring the schedule into alignment with the project plan.
What is "What-if" scenario analysis used for?
300
Expert judgment Analogous estimating Parametric estimating Three-Point estimates Reserve analysis
What are some tools & techniques for "estimating activity durations"?
300
- It is a process to monitor project status to update project progress and manage change to schedule baseline. - Some tools / tech are Performance reviews, Variance Analysis, Project Mgmt software, Critical Chain Method, Resource Leveling, What-if Scenario, Adjusting lags & leads, Schedule Compression, Scheduling Tool.
What is "Control Schedule" process & what are some tools /techniques used?
300
It estimates type and quantities of materials, people, equipment or supplies required to perform each activity.
What is the purpose of "Estimated Activitiy Recources" process?
300
Activity Durations Estimates Project Document Updates
What are some of the outputs for "estimating activity durations"?
400
Most Likely Optimistic - based on best-case scenario Pessimistic - based on worst-case scenario
What are the 3-Point Estimates?
400
Schedule network analysis Critical Path method Critical chain method Resource leveling What-if scenario analysis Applying leads & lags Schedule compression Schedule tool
What are some tools & techniques for "developing schedules"?
400
- Sequencing Activities process identifies & documents relationships among project activities; activities are sequenced using logical relationships. - Tools & Techniques include: Precedence diagramming method (PDM), Dependency determination, applying leads & lags, schedule network templates.
What is "Sequencing Activities process & what tools/techniques available?
400
Activity Lists Activity Attributions Project Schedule Network Diagrams Activity Resources Requirements Resource Calendars Project Scope Enterprise Environental Factors Organizational Process Assets
What are some of the inputs for "developing a schedule"?
400
Mandatory dependencies Discretionary dependencies External dependencies
What are the 3 types of dependencies used to define the sequence among activities?
500
- Critical Path method calculates the theoretical early start & finish dates, and late start and finish dates for all activities w/o regard for any resource limitations. - These dates indicate time periods activities can be scheduled, give activity durations, logical relationships, leads, lags and other known constraints.
What is the definition of "critical path method"?
500
- Has the capabilty to help plan, organize & manage resource pools, develop resource estimates, etc. - Depends on software sophistication, can also do a resource breakdown structures, resource availability, resource rates and can define various resource calendars to ensure optimal resource utilization.
What are the features of "Project Management Software" system?
500
Activity Lists Activity Attributes Activity Resource Requirements Resource Calendars Project Scope Enterprise Environmental Factors Organizational Process Assets
What are some inputs for "estimating activity durations"?
500
- Specifies when and how long identified project resources will be available during the project. - Also can include consideration of attributes such as resource experience and/or skill level, geographical locations and when resources might be available.
What is the purpose of Resource calendar?
