Project Integration Management Flashcards
Identify the seven processes in the Project Management Plan knowledge Area
Develop Project Charter
Develop Project Management Plan
Direct and Manage Project Work
Manage Project Knowledge
Monitor and Control Project Work
Perform Integrated Change Control
Close Project or Phase
The process of developing a document that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities
Develop Project Charter
The process of defining, preparing, and coordinating all plan components and consolidating them into an integrated project management plan
Develop Project Management Plan
The project management plan will include all the subsidiary plans and the project performance measurements baselines (scope, schedule, and cost)
The process of leading and performing the work defined in the project management plan and implementing approved changes to achieve the projects objectives
Direct and Manage Project Work
The process of using existing knowledge and creating new knowledge to achieve the projects objectives and contribute to organizational learning
Manage Project Knowledge
The process of tracking, reviewing, and reporting overall progress to meet the performance objectives defined in the project management plan
Monitor and Control Project Work
The process of reviewing all change request; approving changes and managing changes to deliverables, OPAs, project documents, and the project management plan; and communicating the decisions.
Perform Integrated Change Control
Change control leverages the change control board (CCB), although some changes may require additional approval from the sponsor and/or the customer.
The process of finalizing all activities for the project, phase, or contract
Close Project or Phase
A document issued by the project initiator or sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with authority to apply organizational resources to product activities.
Project Charter
A narrative description of products, services, or results to be delivered by the project
Statement of Work (SOW)
For internal projects the project initiator or sponsor provides the SOW. For external projects the SOW can be received from the customer. Compare to business case
A documented economic feasibility study used to establish validity of the benefits of a selected component lacking sufficient definition and that is used as a basis for the authorization of further project management activities. Typically completed by the sponsor.
Business Case
A project document used to record all assumptions and constraints throughout the project life cycle
Assumption Log
The document that describes how the project will be executed, monitored and controlled, and closed
Project Management Plan
An information system consisting of the tools and techniques used to gather, integrate and disseminate the outputs of the project management plan processes
Project Management Information Systems (PMIS)
Any unique and verifiable product, result, or capability to perform a service that is required to be produced to complete a process, phase, or project
Deliverable
The raw observations and measurement identified during activities being performed to carry out the project work. It is an output of the Direct and Manage Project Work process and is an input to the Monitor and Control processes where it will be analyzed.
Work performance Data
Once it’s analyzed it becomes Work Performance Information
Request to expand or reduce the project scope, modify policies, processes, plans, or procedures, modify costs or budgets, or revise schedules. Also includes corrective actions, preventive actions, and defect repair.
Change Request
Are evaluated through the Perform Integrated Change Control Process. The only change requests that may result in an update to the project baselines would be a significant, authorized change to the scope.
A project document where information about issues is recorded and monitored
Issue Log
A project document used to record knowledge gained during a project so that it can be used in the current project and entered into lessons learned repository.
Lessons Learned Register
An example of codified explicit knowledge.
The physical or electronic representation of work performance information compiled in project documents, intended to generate decisions, actions, or awareness.
Work Performance Reports
An intentional activity that realigns the performance of the project work with the project management plan.
Corrective Action
Is reactive in nature, typically when the project is over budget and/or behind schedule. The project performance baselines should not be re-baselines for corrective actions.
An intentional activity that ensures the future performance of the project work is aligned with the project management plan.
Preventive Action
Proactive in nature. Are used when the project is trending behind schedule and/or over budget. The intention of the change is to reverse the trend. The project performance baselines should not be re-baselines for preventive actions
An intentional activity to modify a non conforming product or product component.
Defect Repair
Fixes a quality issue or problem. The project performance baselines are not re-baselined for a defect repair
Any change to the project scope. A scope change almost always requires an adjustment to the project cost or schedule.
Scope Change
A formally chartered group responsible for reviewing, evaluating, approving, delaying, or rejecting changes to the project, and for recording and communicating such decisions.
Change Control Board (CCB)
A collection of procedures used to track project artifacts and monitor and control changes to these artifacts.
Configuration Management System
A change request that has been processed through the integration change control process and approved
Approved Change Request
The system used to collect, track, adjudicate, and communicate changes to a contract.
Contract Change Control System
A report that provides a summary of the project performance, including description of the project or phase; scope, quality, schedule and cost objectives; scope validation; business need achievement; risk or issues encountered and addressed.
Final Report
Formal handover and acceptance of the final product, service or result that the project was authorized to produce.
Final product, service, or result
