3.00 Vocabulary
Scope baseline is
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.
Activity list is
A comprehensive list including all schedule activities required on the project. The activity list includes the activity identifier and a scope of work description for each activity in sufficient detail to ensure that project team members understand what work is required to be completed.
WBS stands for
Work Breakdown Structure
Work Breakdown and Sequence are basically
step-by-step directions on how to complete a activity
WBS Dictionary is
Document generated by the Create WBS process that supports the WBS. The WBS Dictionary provides more detailed descriptions of the components in the WBS.
Project management software is
Used to help plan, organize, and manage resource pools and develop resource elements
One benefit of WBS is
any of these:
It shows everything you
have to do in a project.
It can be used to help make
a scope.
It can act as the schedule for
how long each job should
take
Accepted Deliverables is
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.
Parametric estimating is
Parametric estimating is a statistical and accuracy-based technique for calculating the time, cost, and resources needed for project success. Combining historical and statistical data, parametric estimating uses the relationship between variables to deliver accurate estimations.
WBS is important because
it will help organize and structure all the work that needs to be done.
What if analysis is used when
all the activities you want to do add up to over your given deadline
Variance Analysis is
Project performance measurements are used to assess the magnitude of variation from the original scope baseline.
Critical Path Method is
The critical path method (CPM) is a technique where you identify tasks that are necessary for project completion and determine scheduling flexibilities. A critical path in project management is the longest sequence of activities that must be finished on time in order for the entire project to be complete.
the method verify scope is
the process of comparing the actual deliverables against what was documented within the scope baseline.
Critical path method is used when
you need to find the fastest time to complete all activities in a project
Work Performance Measurements is
Measurements can include planned vs. actual technical performance or other scope performance measurements. This information is documented and communicated to stakeholders.
Schedule Compression is
Schedule compression is a technique used in project management to shorten an already-developed schedule. This might be done to meet an updated delivery date, a new opportunity, or a schedule delay. It's done without changing the scope of the program.
The method control scope is
the process of monitoring the status of the project and product scope and managing changes to the scope baseline.
you use project crashing when
you are behind schedule for some reason so you use extra resources to speed up the process of the activites
