Chapter 5 - Scope Management Flashcards
A set of conditions that is required to be met before deliverables are approved and received.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
A condition or capability that is prescribed to be present in a product, service, or result to satisfy a contract or other formally imposed specification.
REQUIREMENT
A distinct, scheduled portion of work performed during the course of a project.
ACTIVITY
The work defined at the lowest level of the work breakdown structure for which cost and duration can be estimated and managed.
WORK PACKAGE
Products, results, or capabilities produced by a project and validated by the project customer or sponsors as meeting their specified acceptance criteria.
ACCEPTED DELIVERABLES
A method of obtaining early feedback on requirements by providing a working model of the expected product before actually building it.
PROTOTYPES
A hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables.
WBS
Work Breakdown Structure
The process of creating a plan that documents how the project scope will be defined, validated, and controlled.
PLAN SCOPE MANAGEMENT
A work breakdown structure component below the control account and above the work package with known work content but without detailed schedule activities.
PLANNING PACKAGE
A technique for determining the cause and degree of difference between the baseline and actual performance.
VARIANCE ANALYSIS
The process of subdividing project work into smaller, more manageable components.
CREATE WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE
The approved version of a scope statement, work breakdown structure (WBS), and its associated WBS dictionary, that can be changed using formal change control procedures and is used as a basis for comparison to actual results.
SCOPE BASELINE
The process of developing a detailed description of the project and product.
DEFINE SCOPE
A management point where scope, budget, actual cost, and schedule are integrated and compared to earned value for performance measurement.
CONTROL ACCOUNT
Completed project products, services, activities that have been checked and confirmed for correctness through the Control Quality process.
VERIFIED DELIVERABLES
The process of determining, documenting, and managing stakeholder needs and requirements to meet project objectives.
COLLECT REQUIREMENTS
The sum of the products, services, and results to be provided as a project.
SCOPE
The process of monitoring the status of the project and product scope and managing changes to the scope baseline.
CONTROL SCOPE
The features and functions that characterize a product, service, or result.
PRODUCT SCOPE
The process of formalizing acceptance of the completed project deliverables.
VALIDATE SCOPE
The processes required to ensure that the project includes all the work required, and only the work required, to complete the project successfully.
PROJECT SCOPE MANAGEMENT
A technique used for dividing and subdividing the project scope and project deliverables into smaller, more manageable parts. This is an example of a top-down approach to create a WBS.
DECOMPOSITION
A component of the project or program management plan that describes how project and product capabilities and conditions will be analyzed, documented, and directed.
REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT PLAN
The work performed to deliver a product, service, or result with the specified features and functions.
PROJECT SCOPE
A grid that links necessary project conditions and/or capabilities from their origin to the deliverables that satisfy them.
REQUIREMENTS TRACEABILITY MATRIX
A component of the project or program management plan that establishes the criteria and the activities for developing, monitoring, and controlling the schedule.
