M&C: Scope & Schedule Management Flashcards
The process of formalizing acceptance of the completed project deliverables
Validate Scope
Completed project deliverables that have been checked and confirmed for correctness through the Control Quality process
Verified Deliverables
Examination of a work product to determine whether it conforms to documented standards
Inspection
Purpose being to provide formal acceptance of the completed project deliverables
Validate Scope
Purpose being to monitor the status of the project and product scope, and manage changes to the scope baseline
Control Scope
Purpose being to monitor the status of the project schedule, to update project progress and manage changes to the schedule baseline
Control Schedule
The process of monitoring the status of the project and product scope, and managing changes to the scope baseline
Control Scope
A technique for determining the cause and degree of difference between the baseline and actual performance
Variance Analysis
Occurs when additional features are added by team members, which were not part of the requirements
This should be avoided
Gold plating
Uncontrolled expansion of product or project scope without adjustments (time, cost, and resources)
Scope creep
Purpose being to develop an approximation of the monetary resources needed to complete project activities
Estimate Costs
Purpose being to provide formal acceptance of the completed project deliverables
Validate Scope
Purpose being to monitor the status of the project and product scope, and manage changes to the scope baseline
Control Scope
Purpose being to monitor the status of the project, to update project progress and manage changes to the schedule baseline
Control Schedule
The process of monitoring the status of the project to update project progress and manage changes to the schedule baseline
Control Schedule
Shows the time periods in which team can perform work in the project
Project Calendars
Chart that tracks the work that remains to be completed in the iteration backlog
Used to analyze the variance with respect to an ideal burndown based on the work committed from iteration planning
Iteration Burndown Chart
Purpose being to analyze activity sequences, durations, resource requirements, and schedule constraints to create the project model
Develop Schedule
Purpose being to monitor the status of the project, to update the project budget and manage changes to the cost baseline
Control Costs
Purpose being to monitor the status of the project and product scope, and manage changes to the scope baseline
Control Scope
Purpose being to monitor the status of the project, to update project progress and manage changes to the schedule baseline
