Scope Management Flashcards
scope creep
unauthorized work added to scope, increasing time and cost to the scope
gold plating
extra work that is not in the scope baseline
product scope
features and functions
requirements for the product
project scope
work needed to deliver the product or result
What are the processes in scope management?
Plan scope management
Collect requirements
Define scope
Create WBS
Validate scope
Control scope
What is the scope management plan?
document how you are going to write the scope statement
how you are going to baseline the scope
how you control the scope
how you will get the scope accepted (validated)
change requests
What is the requirement management plan?
document that shows the requirements to be collected, analyzed, documented, and managed.
What is the traceability structure?
reflects which requirements need to be captured on traceability matrix
What are the inputs for collecting requirements?
Project charter
Project man. plan
Project docs.
Business docs. (assumption log, LL register, stakeholder register)
agreements
EEF
OPA
What are the tools and techniques for collecting requirements?
expert judgment
data gathering
data analysis
decision making
data representation
interpersonal and team skils

Brainstorming

focus groups
questionaires and surveys
benchmarking
What is benchmarking?

ideas/mind mapping
affinity diagrams
What is the delphi technique?
requirements are collected anonymously from SME’s
Pro: stakeholders cant influence each other
What is nominal group technique?
how you rank and prioritize ideas in brainstorming
What are prototypes?
working models of a product that stakeholders interact with
stakeholders can give feedback on the product and how they might change it better to meet the requirements
What is the requirements traceability matrix?
table that links the requirements back to their origins
tracks where the requirement suggestion came from, which SH gave the requirement, why it was added to the project, current status of the require.
What is the difference between where the scope of the project is stored between traditional and agile projects?
Traditional: project scope is in the project scope statement
Agile: scope of requirements is stored in the product backlog
What is the main requirements documentation to define the scope?
requirements for the project
risk register
What is product analysis?
analyze the product to ensure it matches the requirements of the stakeholder
What should be included in the project scope statement and what is it?
describes the details of the project deliverables and the work that will be required to produce the deliverables
desciption of the scope
detailed list of the deliverables
acceptance criteria
exclusions “the project will not include…”
constraints
assumptions
What is decomposition when creating the WBS?
takes deliverables from scope statement and divide it into smaller parks aka work packages
work packages are the lowest level on WBS
What is scope baseline?
made up of 3 components: scope statement, WBS, WBS dictionary
What is the difference between the WBS and the WBS dictionary?
the WBS provides a structure for the summary of cost, schedule and resource info.
WBS dictionary has more details about each work package like description, scheduling, and cost estimates,
