Missed Qs Flashcards
Agile work estimation is limited to
The next few weeks at most
Lead time is
From the time it goes on the board to the time it exits done
Resource Histogram
The Resource Histogram is a tool for charting human resources. It illustrates the number of hours that a person, department or entire project team will be needed each week or month over the course of the project. The chart can include a horizontal line that represents the maximum number of hours from a particular resource. This can be used for a resource leveling strategy.
backward pass
Calculation of late finish dates and late start dates for the project activities is called a backward pass.
Forward pass
Early start and finish
When should you schedule all your retrospectives?
You should not schedule these events well in advance, the project team decides when to call a retrospective. Retrospectives can be scheduled on different occasions, such as the end of sprint, completion of a release, achievement of some milestone, or whenever the team gets stuck with the project work.
Time boxing
Time-boxed periods are durations during which the team works steadily toward completion of a goal. Time-boxing helps to minimize scope creep as it forces the teams to process essential features first, then other features when time permits.
Schedule variance formula
The alternate equation for calculating schedule variance is SV = ES – AT
Project resilience
Emergent risks can be tackled through developing project resilience. This requires each project to have right level of budget and schedule contingencies, flexible project processes, empowered project team and frequent review of early warning signs.
Active acceptance
Recognizing the risk and not changing the plan but making some contingencies in the event the risk is triggered is an example of active acceptance. Passive acceptance would recognize the risk but not put contingencies in place, and avoidance would be correct if the project plan were modified.
Backlog preparation and refinement
Backlog preparation and refinement are the activities where the business (product owner) and the developers (Agile team) work together to define and prioritize project objectives. The rest of the choices are tools used by Agile teams not necessarily with the direct involvement of the business
Early cancellation clause
When an Agile supplier delivers sufficient value with only half of the scope completed, the early cancellation clause allows the customer to withdraw from the relationship.
Force majeur
LAW
unforeseeable circumstances that prevent someone from fulfilling a contract
Which of the following is not a basic input required to develop an effective project stakeholder engagement plan?
The stakeholder engagement plan is developed during the Plan Stakeholder Engagement process. The stakeholder register, enterprise environmental factors and the organizational process assets are all basic inputs to this process. The stakeholder engagement assessment matrix is developed during this process and is not an input to this process.
Bottom-up Cost estimating is typically motivated by the size and complexity of:
Bottom-up estimating involves estimating the cost of individual work packages or individual schedule activities at the lowest level of detail. Activities with smaller associated effort usually increase the accuracy of the schedule activity cost estimates.
