Chap 2 Flashcards
A collection of logically related project activities that culminates in the completion of one or more deliverables.
PROJECT PHASE
An adaptive project life cycle in which the deliverable is produced through a series of iterations that successively add functionality within a predetermined time frame. The deliverable contains the necessary and sufficient capability to be considered complete only after the final iteration.
INCREMENTAL/ITERATIVE LIFE CYCLE
Procedures that specify and create the project’s product.
PRODUCT-ORIENTED PROCESSES
Launching a process that can result in the authorization of a new project.
PROJECT INITIATION
Those processes required to establish the scope of the project, refine the objectives, and define the course of action required to attain the objectives that the project was undertaken to achieve.
PLANNING PROCESS GROUP
A type of project life cycle in which the project scope, and the time and cost required to deliver that scope, are determined as early in the process as possible.
PREDICTIVE LIFE CYCLE
Those procedures performed to finalize all activities across all project areas to formally complete a project or phase.
CLOSING PROCESS GROUP
The physical or electronic representation of work conduct and efficiency information compiled in project documents, intended to generate decisions, actions, or awareness.
WORK PERFORMANCE REPORTS
A systematic series of activities directed towards causing an end result such that one or more inputs will be acted upon to create one or more outputs.
PROCESS
Those actions required to track, review, and regulate the progress and performance of the project; identify any areas in which changes to the plan are required; and initiate the corresponding changes.
MONITORING & CONTROLLING PROCESS GROUP
The series of phases that a project passes through from its start to its completion.
PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
The raw observations and measurements identified during activities performed to carry out the project work.
WORK PERFORMANCE DATA
A project life cycle where the project scope is generally determined early in the project life cycle, but time and cost estimates are routinely modified as the project team’s understanding of the product increases. Iterations develop the product through a series of repeated cycles, while increments successively add to the functionality of the product.
ITERATIVE LIFE CYCLE
Those procedures performed to define a new project or a new phase of an existing project by obtaining authorization to start the project or phase.
INITIATING PROCESS GROUP
The conduct and efficiency data collected from various controlling processes, analyzed in context and integrated based on relationships across areas.
