It is only 1 of 2 processes that have TWO plans as outputs
What is a Rqmts Mgmt Plan
- It describes how rqmt activities will be planned, tracked and reported
- Considers configuration mgmt activities (how changes will be initiated)
- Metrics
- Traceability structure that reflects rqmt attributes
Where can I find rqmt metrics
Rqmt Mgmt Plan
Where can I find the traceability structure that reflects rqmt attributes
Rqmts Mgmt Plan
What is the key benefit of Collect Rqmts
It provides the basis for defining the project and product scope
A condition or capability that is necessary to be present in a product to satisfy a business need
What is a Rqmt
What are the Key inputs to Collect Rqmts
Scope Mgmt Plan Rqmts Mgmt Plan Stakeholder Engagement Plan Business Case Agreements Stakeholder Register
Why are Agreements an input to collect rqmts
They may contain project and product rqmts
Why is the rqmts mgmt plan an input to Collect Rqmts
It details how rqmts will be collected, analyzed and documented
What are the Key outputs of collect rqmts
Rqmts Documentation
Rqmts Traceability Matrix
This describes the behaviors of the product; e.g. actions, processes, interactions
What a re functional rqmts
This describes the environmental conditions or qualities req’d for the product to be effective
What are non-functional rqmts
What is the function of Rqmts Documentation
Describes how individual rqmts meet the business need for the project
A grid that links product rqmts from their origin to their deliverables
What is a rqmts traceability matrix
It provides a means to track rqmts throughout the project life cycle
What is a rqmts traceability matrix
What are the documents needed to build the charter
AB2C Agreements Benefits Mgmt Plan Business Need Cost-Benefit Analysis
The Business Need and the Cost Benefit Analysis
What is the Business Case
The business Case and the Benefits Mgmt Plan
What are business documents
The process of developing a detailed description of the project and product
What is Define Scope
What is the key benefit of define scope
It describes the product boundaries and acceptance criteria
Key Inputs of Define Scope
Project Charter
Rqmts Documentation
Why is the Project Charter a key input into Define Scope
It provides high-level project description, product characteristics, and approval rqmts
What is a key tool and technique of Define Scope
Product Analyses Product breakdown Rqmts analysis system analysis value analysis system engineering value engineering
Description of the project scope, major deliverables, assumptions and constraints
Project Scope Statement
Documents the entire scope, both product and project scope
What is the Project Scope Statement
Describes the deliverables in detail
What is the Project Scope Statement
What is in the Project Scope Statement
Project Scope Description
Project Deliverables
Acceptance Criteria
Project Exclusions
Characteristics of the product described in the project charter and rqmts documentation
Product Scope Description
The process of subdividing project deliverables and project work into smaller, more manageable pieces
What is Decomposition
What is the key benefit of Create WBS
It provides a framework of what has to be delivered
A hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work
What is the WBS
the lowest level of a WBS component
What is a Work package
What represents the work specified in the current approved PROJECT scope statement
The WBS
What is a work package
The work defined at the lowest level of the WBS for which cost and duration can be managed and estimated
How is an activity related to a work package
Activities are distinct, scheduled portions of a work package
Where is the process by which the WBS will be created from the project scope statement
The scope mgmt plan
What is a key tool and technique of Create WBS
Decomposition
How can you decompose the project scope and project deliverables
By process or by phase, by major deliverables, etc
Key Outputs of Create WBS
SCOPE BASELINE
Where can I find the Project Scope Statement
Scope Baseline
Where can I find the WBS
Scope Baseline
Where can I find the WBS Dictionary
Scope baseline
Where can I find the planning package
Scope baseline
What does each work package have
a unique identifier
