Configuration management
Reporting
Traceability

Question 4

Whats included in Requirements Documentation

Answer 4

Sources of requirements
Types of requirements
-Functional
-Non-functional
-Quality requirements
-Support and training requirements
-Requirements based on assumptions
Impact of requirement

Question 5

Traceability Matrix

Answer 5

is a document that maps and traces user requirement with test cases

Requirement linked to the origin of the project
Requirement linked to the project objectives and deliverables
Requirement linked to the project scope and the product scope
Requirements linked of the product design, development and testing
High-level requirements linked to their details
The attributes of the requirement

Question 6

What is the purpose of the Project Scope Statement

Answer 6

Develop a common understanding among stakeholders

Make project descriptions throughout the lifecycle

Measuring performance deviations from the scope

Question 7

Project Scope Statement Components

Answer 7

Assumptions and Constraints
-Quality, resources, scope, time

Project Deliverables

Project Exclusions

Product Description

• Product scope description
• Product acceptance criteria

Question 8

Work Breakdown Structure

Answer 8

(Trying to hit schedule, cost, scope) - Triple Threat

A deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work that must be performed to accomplish the objectives and create the deliverables of the project

Question 9

What does a Work Breakdown Structure do?

Answer 9

Subdivides project deliverables into smaller, manageable tasks called work packages
This process is called decomposition
Excellent approach for large, complex tasks

Question 10

Steps for Decomposition

Answer 10

1. Identify the deliverables and the work involved by analyzing the project
2. Understand the relationships among the deliverables
3. Structure and organize the first level
4. Decompose the upper level into more detailed components
5. Keep decomposing to lower levels until necessary and sufficient decomposition has been achieved
6. Assign identification codes to the WBS components

Question 11

Output of Creating WBS

Answer 11

Work Breakdown Structure
WBS Dictionary
Updates
Scope Baseline

Question 12

How does a systems development life cycle differ from a WBS?

Answer 12

Fundamental units differ.

SDLCs have a “process” orientation, WBS have a “work package” orientation

Question 13

What does a systems development life cycle have in common with a WBS?

Answer 13

Both have activities

Question 14

Why is the orientation of each important?

(How does a systems development life cycle differ from a WBS?)

(What does a systems development life cycle have in common with a WBS?)

Answer 14

SDLC emphasizes quality and process improvement. WBS emphasizes deliverables, schedule, cost. scope,
