Project Scope Management (2) Flashcards
What are the 6 project management processes in the project scope management knowledge area?
Plan scope management, collect requirements, define scope, create WBS, validate scope, control scope
What is product scope?
Features and functions that define a product, service or result
What is project scope?
Work performed to deliver a product, service, or result with specified features and functions
What are tailoring considerations for project scope management?
Knowledge and requirements management (formal or informal knowledge), validation and control (policies), development approach, stability of requirements, governance
What is project scope management?
Processes required to ensure the project includes all the work required and only the work required to complete the project
What is the role of the PM in project scope management?
Ensure requirements-related work is accounted for in PMP, and once planned ensure these activities deliver value
What is a predictive project?
Type of project that uses an approved version of the project scope statement and WBS as a scope baseline
What is validate scope?
Process of formalizing acceptance of a completed project
What is completion of product scope measured against?
Product requirements
What are the inputs for the plan scope management process?
Project charter, PMP (quality MP, project life cycle description, development approach), EEFs (culture, infrastructure, personnel admin, marketplace), OPAs (policies, historical info)
What tools are used for the plan scope management process?
Meetings, data analysis (alternative), expert judgement
What are the outputs for the plan scope management process?
Requirements management plan (business analysis plan that describe how requirements will be analyzed and managed), scope management plan
What are the inputs for the collect requirements process?
PMP (scope, requirements, stakeholder engagement), project charter, EEFs (culture, infrastructure, personnel admin, marketplace), agreements, project documents (assumptions, lessons learned, stakeholder register), business case, OPAs (policies, historical info)
What are the tools used for the collect requirements process?
Data analysis (document analysis), expert judgement, prototype, context diagram, team skills, data representation, data gathering (brainstorming, interviews, surveys, benchmarking), decision making
What is the purpose of the collect requirements process?
Determines, documents and manages stakeholder needs for meeting objectives
What types of projects are prototypes a helpful agile approach for collecting requirements?
With evolving requirements because the scope is not understood at the beginning of the project
What are the outputs for the collect requirements process?
Requirements documentation (business, stakeholder, solution, transition, project, quality), requirements traceability matrix
What is a traceability matrix?
Grid that tracks requirements from their origins to deliverables that satisfy them
What is a requirement?
Condition or capability that should be present in a product, service, or result to satisfy specs
What are transition requirements?
Capabilities that are temporary and no longer needed after new result/product/service is ready
What are the inputs for the define scope process?
PMP, OPAs (policies, project files from previous projects, lessons learned), EEFs (culture, infrastructure, personnel admin, marketplace), project documents (assumptions, requirements, risks), project charter
What are the tools used for the define scope process?
Decision making, expert judgement, data analysis (alternative), product analysis (define product), team skills
What are the outputs of the define scope process?
Project document updates (assumptions, requirements, traceability matrix, stakeholder register), project scope statement (product scope, acceptance criteria, deliverables, project exclusions)
What is a work package?
Lowest-level component of WBS (most granular)
What is the purpose of a WBS/decomposition?
Subdivide deliverables into smaller more manageable components
What are the inputs of the create WBS process?
EEFs (industry-specific WBS standards), OPAs (policies, project files from previous projects, lessons learned), project documents (scope statement and requirements), PMP (scope MP)
What are the tools used for the create WBS process?
Decomposition, expert judgement
What are the outputs for the create WBS process?
Scope baseline, project document updates (assumptions, requirements)
What is the scope baseline?
Approved version of scope statement and WBS
What are the inputs for the validate scope process?
PMP (scope MP, requirements MP, scope baseline), project documents (lessons learned, quality reports, requirements, traceability matrix), verified deliverables, work performance data
What are verified deliverables?
Project deliverables that are completed and checked for correctness through control quality process
What are accepted deliverabels?
Meet the criteria for acceptance and are approved by customer or sponsor (want to turn verified into accepted)
What are the tools used for the validate scope process?
Inspection, decision making
What are the outputs of the validate scope process?
Accepted deliverables, work performance info, change requests, project document updates (lessons learned, requirements, traceability matrix)
What are the inputs of the control scope process?
PMP (scope MP, requirements MP, change MP, configuration MP, scope baseline, performance measurement baseline), project docs (lessons learned, requirements, traceability matrix), work performance data, OPAs (policies, reporting methods)
What are the tools used for the control scope process?
Data analysis (variance and trend)
What are the outputs of the control scope process?
Work performance information, change requests, PMP updates (scope MP, scope baseline, schedule baseline, cost baseline, performance measurement baseline), project document updates (lessons learned, requirements, traceability matrix)
