by breaking down products until a level is reached when a component can be individually released, installed, replaced or modified.

30
Q

Managing Product Baselines - configuration items - how identified?

A

by providing unique identifier to each configuration item

31
Q

Managing Product Baselines - authorizations?

39
Q

A

1.cost of any single change
2.amount spent on change in any one stage

40
Q

Recommended Issue and Change Control Procedure

A

1.Capture
2.Assess - impact on proj objs/bus-case, proj risk profile, check sev/priority
3.Propose - identify -> evaluate -> recommend options
4.Decide - approve/reject/defer option (by proj board)
5.Implement - take action, update records/plans

41
Q

Capture issue details

4

A

initial analysis to determine:-
1.issue type,
2.formal/informal mgmt,
- formal -> enter in issue register with uniq identifier
- informal -> daily log
3.severity/priority (by PM),
4.distinguish b/w formal/informal mgmt is to :-
- ensure decisions are made at appropriate level
- avoid inundating proj board w/ too many issues
- reduce admin burden on PM

42
Q

Assess details

1 (a,b,c,d), 2,3

A

1.assess by doing impact analysis on :-
- perf targets in terms of time, cost, quality, scope
- business case, impact on benefits
- any other dependent products produced by project
- risk profile
2. issue register shud be updated with impact analysis and issue reporter be informed of status
3. advise can be sought from proj board

43
Q

Propose details

3

A
  1. after impact analysis look for alternative options and propose an option
  2. ensure there is balance b/w advantage gained and the time/cost/risk of implementing the option
  3. if any proposed option is going to extend the stage / project beyond tolerances , project board advise must be requested.
44
Q

Decide corrective action details

A
  1. PM can decide on smaller projects where corrective action doesn’t impact other products.
  2. Other issues might need to be escalated to project board or delegated change authority.

  3. create exception plan for approval by project board.
46

3. de-scope other elements of project

DO NOT use Tolerance to fund requests for change.

48
Q

Project board decisions - off specification

4

A

Proj board response -

Consideration - can it be resolved by altering stage boundaries
