Guide - Section 2.4 (DECK #5) - Planning Performance Flashcards
What is
a set of measurements
used to track and evaluate the performance
of a project, process, or team called?
And what do they provide?
Hint (M,OD,AP,IR,ID)
Metrics
They provide objective data
that can be used
to assess progress,
identify potential issues or risks,
and make informed decisions.
What is
a reference point
used for comparison and measurement
of project performance called?
And what do they provide?
Baseline
It is typically established at the beginning of a project
and represents a snapshot of the project’s scope, schedule, and cost
at that point in time.
What are 3 types of baselines used in project management?
- Scope baseline
- Schedule baseline
- Cost baseline
What baseline
includes the project’s scope statement, requirements,
and deliverables?
What is it used for?
Hint (MCC)
The scope baseline
is used as a reference
for monitoring and controlling changes to the project scope
throughout the project lifecycle.
What baseline
includes the project schedule,
which includes the start and end dates for each task
and the overall project timeline?
What is it used for?
Hint (RP,TP,A)
The schedule baseline
is used as a reference
for tracking progress
and making schedule adjustments.
What baseline
includes the project budget,
which includes the estimated cost of labor, materials, equipment etc.
required to complete the project?
What is it used for?
The cost baseline
is used as a reference
for tracking project costs
and making cost adjustments.
Why are
baselines essential in project management?
They provide a reference point to monitor and control changes to project scope, schedule, and cost.
- provide a framework for identifying and addressing project issues and risks.
- provide a framework forcommunicating project progress to stakeholders.
What 2 things
need to remain integrated throughout the project?
Hint (PaA)
- Planning activities
- Artifacts
What guides the project work,
delivery of outcomes,
and business value?
Project Planning
How can you check that
the project is progressing
in an organized, coordinated, and deliberate manner? Hint (PRvsB&M)
A performance review of project results against the project baselines and other measurement metrics demonstrates that the project is progressing as planned. Performance variances are within thresholds.
How can you check that
there is a holistic approach
to delivering the project outcomes?
The delivery schedule, funding, resource availability, procurements, etc.,
demonstrate that the project is planned in a holistic manner with no gaps or
areas of misalignment.
How can you check that
evolving information is elaborated
to produce the deliverables and outcomes
for which the project was undertaken?
Hint (IIvCI,CIvBC)
Initial information about deliverables and requirements compared to current
information demonstrates appropriate elaboration.
Current information compared to the business case indicates the project will produce the deliverables and outcomes it was undertaken to deliver.
How can you check that
time spent planning is appropriate for the situation?
Hint (PP,D)
Project plans and documents demonstrate
that the level of planning is appropriate for the project.
How can you check that
planning information is sufficient
to manage stakeholder expectations?
Hint (CmpSi)
The communications management plan and stakeholder information
indicate that the communications
are sufficient to manage stakeholder expectations.
How can you check that
there is a process
for the adaptation of plans throughout the project,
based on emerging and changing needs or conditions?
Hint (BL,CCP)
Projects using a backlog show the adaptation of plans throughout the project.
Projects using a change control process have change logs and documentation
from change control board meetings that demonstrate the change control
process is being applied.
