Test Flashcards
Affinity Grouping
The process of classifying items into similar categories or collections on the basis of their likeness.
Budget at Completion
The sum of all budgets established for the work to be performed.
Assumption Log
A project document used to record all assumptions and constraints throughout the project.
Benefits Management Plan
The documented explanation defining the processes for creating, maximizing, and sustaining the benefits provided by a project or program.
Business Value
The net quantifiable benefit derived from a business endeavor that may be tangible, intangible, or both.
Activity List
A documented tabulation of schedule activities that shows the activity description, activity identifier, and a sufficiently detailed scope of work description so project team members understand what work is to be performed.
Confirmation Bias
Confirms preexisting beliefs or hypotheses.
Change Control
A process whereby modifications to documents, deliverables, or baselines associated with the project are identified, documented, approved, or rejected. There is a board, a plan, a system, a request, a log.
Backlog Refinement
Progressive elaboration of the content in the ordered list of work to be done, and (re)prioritization of it to identify the work that can be accomplished in an upcoming iteration.
Alternatives Analysis
A method used to evaluate identified options in order to select the options or approaches to use to perform the work of the project.
Burn Chart
A graphical representation of the work remaining in a timebox or the work completed toward the release of a product or project deliverable.
Business Case
A value proposition for a proposed project that may include financial and non-financial benefits.
Acceptance Criteria
A set of conditions that is required to be met before deliverables are accepted
Bidder Conference
Contractor conferences, vendor conferences, or pre-bid conferences. Meetings with prospective sellers prior to the preparation of a bid or proposal to ensure all vendors have a common understanding of the procurement.
Business Model Canvas

Basis of Estimates
Supporting documentation outlining the details used in establishing project estimates such as assumptions, constraints, level of detail, ranges, and confidence levels.
Contingency Reserve
Time or money allocated in the schedule or cost baseline for known risks with active response strategies.
Accuracy
Within the quality management system, it is an assessment of correctness
Analogous Estimating
A method for estimating the duration or cost of an activity or project using historical data from a similar activity or project. Cheap method but not super accurate.
Adaptive Approach
A development approach in which the requirements are subject to a high level of uncertainty and volatility, and are likely to change throughout the project.
Assumption and Constraint Analysis
An assessment that ensures assumptions and constraints are integrated into the project plans an documents, and that there is consistency among them.
Actual Cost
The realized cost incurred for the work performed on an activity during a specific time period.
