Planning Process Group: Integration Management & Scope Management Flashcards
Section 3, page 565
The process group of processes necessary to establish the total scope of the effort, define and refine the objectives, and develop a course of action to obtain those objectives.
Planning Process Group
Planning is an ___ process and may require revisiting one or both of the initiating processes.
iterative
The process of defining, preparing, and coordinating all plan components and consolidating them into an integrated project management plan.
3.1 Develop Project Management Plan
Documents how changes will be controlled; describes system to track & manage changes
Change Management Plan
Outlines configurability of product features as well as project plans/documents;
Also defines the Configuration Management System which is part of the PMIS that tracks and manages changes to the deliverables (version control)
Configuration Management Plan
Integrated scope-schedule-cost baselines
Performance measurement baseline
Describes the product, service, or result development approach, such as predictive, iterative, agile, or a hybrid model
Development approach
The process of creating a scope management plan that documents how the project and product scope will be defined, validated, and controlled.
3.2 Plan Scope Management
A document that describes how the scope will be defined, developed, monitored, controlled, and verified.
Scope Management Plan
Document describing how requirements will be planned, tracked, and reported
Requirements Management Plan
The process of determining, documenting, and managing stakeholder needs and requirements to meet objectives.
3.3 Collect Requirements
Describes how individual requirements meet the business need.
Requirements Documentation
Business and project objectives for traceability; business rules; and guiding principles.
Business requirements
Requirements that Impacts other organizational areas, impacts to other entities.
Stakeholder requirements
Functional and nonfunctional; support and training; quality standards
Solution requirements
Levels of service, performance; milestone dates, contractual obligations, constraints, etc.
Project requirements
Temporary capabilities during transition period
Transition requirements
Identifies condition of criteria for successful completion of a deliverable
Quality requirements
A project document used to record knowledge gained during a project so that it can be used in the current project and entered into the lessons learned repository.
Lessons Learned Register
The knowledge gained during a project which shows how project events were addressed or should be addressed in the future for the purpose of improving future performance.
Lessons Learned
A store of historical information about lessons learned in projects.
Lessons Learned Repository
A grid that links product requirements from their origin to the deliverables that satisfy them.
Requirements Traceability Matrix
The process of developing a detailed description of the project and product.
3.4 Define Scope
Describes in detail the deliverables (product scope); sets forth constraints and assumptions along with how deliverables will be created (project scope)
Project Scope Statement
Process of subdividing (decomposing) the project deliverables and project work into smaller, more manageable components
3.5 Create WBS
Breaking project work and deliverables down into smaller, more manageable components
Decomposition
The approved version of a scope statement, work breakdown structure (WBS), and its associated WBS dictionary, that can be changed using formal change control procedures and is used as a basis for comparison to actual results.
Scope Baseline
The sum of the products, services, and results to be provided as a project.
Scope
A list of requirements and the work required for the product are written in the form of user stories, they are estimated by scale and prioritized by value to the sponsoring organization.
Scope Decomposition using a Product Backlog
(Originated in the Agile development environment)
Hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be performed
WBS
Provides detailed information about the deliverables, activities, cost and scheduling information, schedule activities, resources, quality requirements, milestones, etc.
WBS Dictionary
A management control point where scope, budget, actual cost and schedule are integrated and compared to earned value for performance measurement.
Control Account (WBS)
WBS component below the control account and above the work package level, with known work content but without detailed schedule activities; especially useful in agile environments.
Planning Package (WBS)
Work defined at the lowest level of the WBS, for which cost and duration can be estimated and managed (one step removed from an activity list, which is considered a separate document)
Work Package (WBS)
Any numbering scheme used to uniquely identify each component of the WBS
Code of Accounts (WBS)
A list detailing all accounts used by the organization to identify areas of expenditures (not part of the WBS itself)
Chart of Accounts (WBS)
