Creating a Project Plan & Procuring Solutions Flashcards
a compact, visual model of the project schedule
a) total float
b) precedence diagram method
c) project network diagram
project network diagram
this diagram uses rectangles and arrows to show the dependencies between activities.
a) critical path method
b) precedence diagram method
c) project network diagram
Precedence Diagram Method (PDM)
analyzes a project schedule to identify the dependent activity sequence with the longest duration.
a) critical path method
b) precedence diagram method
c) project network diagram
critical path method (CPM)
the amount of time an activity can wait to start without impacting the total project timeline.
a) free float
b) critical path
c) total float
Total Float (TF)
Total Float formulas
TF = LS - ES
TF = LF - EF
the amount of time an activity can wait to start without impacting any other activities.
Free Float (FF)
Free Float formula
FF(1) = the minimum ES of all direct successors - EF(1)
Critical Path formula
Critical Path = list of all activities where (TF = 0)
an early version of a product
a) beta
b) developing
c) minimum viable product
minimum viable product (MVP)
a calculated buffer of time and cost that covers documented risks.
a) scope baseline
b) contingency reserve
c) management reserves
contigency reserve
an additional sum of time or money that covers “unknown unknowns.”
a) scope baseline
b) contingency reserve
c) management reserves
management reserves
accommodates multiple methods for calculating contingency reserves
a) cost analysis
b) reserve analysis
c) trade-off analysis
reserve analysis
this value is summed to calculate the project’s contingency buffer
a) capital gain
b) expenditure total
c) expected monetary value
Expected monetary value (EMV)
the original scope from the detailed scope statement.
a) scope baseline
b) schedule baseline
c) cost baseline
scope baseline
the total project duration captured from the project schedule.
a) cost baseline
b) schedule baseline
c) reserve baseline
schedule baseline
the expected costs plus the contingency reserves.
a) cost baseline
b) schedule baseline
c) expenditure baseline
cost baseline
a set of processes that can touch every part of a project.
a) development
b) testing
c) quality assurance
quality assurance (QA)
this plan describes how the team will ensure the project outputs meet the project’s requirements.
a) QA plan
b) regression plan
c) succession plan
QA Plan
measures the smallest piece of functionality in software.
a) unit test
b) smoke test
c) regression test
unit test
confirms that the code change did not affect any existing functionality.
a) performance test
b) user acceptance test
c) regression test
regression test
this test runs after the code is compiled into a build and before it is deployed and released.
a) performance test
b) user acceptance test
c) smoke test
smoke test
