Work Breakdown Structure
The subdivision of project deliverables into small, more manageable components until the work and deliverables are defined to the work package level.
Decomposition
The process of comparing the actual deliverables against what was documented within the scope baseline.
Verifying Scope
Technique where teams work within smaller waves or time periods to accommodate expected project changes.
Rolling Wave Planning
Used to help plan, organize, and manage resource pools and develop resource elements.
Project Management Software
Technique that involves resolving over-allocation or scheduling conflicts to ensure a project can be completed with the available resources.
Resource Leveling
Document generated by the Create WBS process that supports the WBS. The WBS Dictionary provides more detailed descriptions of the components of the WBS.
WBS Dictionary
Includes activities such as measuring, examining, and verifying to determine whether work and deliverables meet requirements and product acceptance criteria.
Inspection
A comprehensive list including all scheduled activities required on the project.
Activity List
Analysis of existing resources to provide transparency into campus' reserve balances and allow us to better frame how we can enable their use for investment in our highest priorities.
Reserve Analysis
Used to perform Schedule Network Analysis that considers task dependencies, limited resource availability, and buffers.
Critical Chain Method
The approved version of a scope statement, work breakdown structure (WBS), and its associated WBS dictionary, and a component of the project management plan.
Scope Baseline
This information is documented and communicated to stakeholders.
Work Performance Measures
These points can note the start and finish of a project, and mark the completion of a major phase of work.
Milestones
Activity Resource Requirements is an input to..
Estimate Activity Durations
A technique where you identify tasks that are necessary for project completion and determine scheduling flexibilities.
Critical Path Method
The lowest level of WBS components.
Work Package
Three documents are needed for the scope baseline of the project.
The project scope statement, WBS, WBS Dictionary
The left of the chart is a list of the activities and along the top is a suitable time scale. Each activity is represented by a bar; the position and length of the bar reflects the start date, duration and end date of the activity.
Gantt Chart
A technique that uses information from a similar past project in order to estimate the cost and duration of a planned project.
Analogous Meeting
Maps out project development by creating a visual representation of critical paths and dependencies.
Precedence Diagram Method
The following document contains a detailed description of work packages.
WBS Dictionary
Tool or technique would a project manager use to control the scope.
Variance Analysis
Maps out project development by creating a visual representation of critical paths and dependencies.
Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM)
A statistical and accuracy-based technique for calculating the time, cost, and resources needed for project success.
Parametric Estimating
A strategy that consists of visualizing the different project tasks and making connections between them in the project management plan.
Schedule Network Analysis
