Correct Answers
Project portfolio
a portfolio is a grouping of projects and programs, with potentially unrelated goals, but linked by
resources and/or governance.
Project
A project is a sequence of unique, complex, and connected activities that have one goal or purpose
and that must be completed by a specific time, within budget, and according to specification.
Temporary
program
Programs are groups of projects that are linked through their management—often because that set of
projects must be completed to achieve some overarching, higher level objective or goal.
What is a DRP?
A disaster recovery plan (DRP) involves actions to contain and recover from a
major disaster such as the loss of a data center or a portion of a building. An IT
DRP includes the ability to restart a data center at a distant site using backup
media.
What are the project management software tool capabilities?
Project management software tools feature capabilities for
• defining and ordering tasks,
• assigning resources to tasks,
• establishing starting and ending dates to tasks,
• tracking progress,
• facilitating modifications to tasks and resources,
• the creation of Gantt and PERT charts.
Iron Triangle
The relationship between Time, Cost and Scope, the three variables form the side of a triangle and are
an interdependent set. If one of them changes, the other variable must also change to restore balance
in the project.
project scope
Defines the boundaries of the project, what will and what will not be done. Also known as the
"functional specification" in Information systems, or "statement of work" in engineering. Project
request form etc. foundation for all project work to follow.
Explain how project classifications might be determined in an organization.
Explain the purpose of classifying projects from the perspective of project
management.
,Project classifications may be based on a variety of project characteristics such as
duration, risk, business value, complexity, technology type, number of
departments affected, and cost. All of these give a sense of how important, risky,
and complicated the project will be. People use the ABCD classification based on likelihood for issues
to occur.
product quality
Quality of the deliverable from the project. This includes tangible hardware, software as well as
business services. Traditional tools of quality control are used to ensure product quality.
Process quality
The quality of the project management process itself. How this process works and how it can be
improved. Continuous quality improvement and process quality management are the tools used to
measure process quality.
PM designed to answer what 6 questions
What business situation is being addressed by this project? What does the business need to do? What
will you do? How will you do it? How will you know you did it? How well did you do?
5 Project Constraints
Scope, Quality, Cost, Time and Resources
5 Components of System Development Life Cycle
Scope, Design, Build, Test, Deploy
4 Types of Testing
Unit, System, Acceptance, Volume
scope creep
is the term that has come to mean any change in the project that was not in the original plan.
hope creep
happens when a project team member falls behind schedule but reports that he or she is on schedule,
hoping to get back on schedule by the next report date.
effort creep
is the result of the team member working but not making progress proportionate to the work
expended.
feature creep
Feature creep results when team members arbitrarily add features and functions to the deliverable
that they think the client would want to have.
project management life cycle (PMLC)
, A PMLC is a sequence of processes that includes scoping, planning, launching, monitoring and
controlling and closing. All 5 of the processes must be done at least once and repeated any number of
times in logical order.
Emertxe Projects
solution clear, goal not clear. So for the MPx project, you reverse the R&D situation. You have some
type of solution, but you have not yet discovered an application for that solution (unknown goal). You
hope to find an application that can be achieved through some modification of the solution. You are
successful if the application has business value.
Extreme Projects
Solution and goal unclear (extreme) - world of pure R & D, new product development, and process
improvement projects. These are high-risk, high-change projects. In many cases, they are also high-
speed projects. Failure rates are often very high.
Traditional Project Management Approaches (TPM)
Solution and goal clear (Linear & Incremental). Low complexity, few scope change requests, low risk,
experienced teams, understood tech infrastructure. TPM's are plan-driven projects. You can build a
complete WBS and from that, estimate duration, estimate resource requirements, construct the
project schedule, and write the project proposal. No more than 20% of all projects require a TPM
approach. TPM approach needs both and RBS and WBS.
Agile Projects
Goal Clear, solution not clear (Iterative): , APM projects are change-driven. This is a significant
difference. TPM projects are change intolerant and changes give rise to wasted time and resources
due to the need to revise plans. APM projects cannot succeed without change. APM projects utilize
just-in-time planning models. They don't waste resources and are "lean" in that sense.Client and PM
team must work in close proximity. Iterative PMLCs definitely fit the class of projects that provide
opportunity to learn and discover. The client learns and discovers more details about the solution
from the current iteration. In the prototyping mode, the development team usually takes client input
and presents alternatives in the next version of the prototype.
big bang deployment
brings the new information system up throughout an organisation all at once (perhaps after a
software pilot). It is the riskiest deployment strategy as failure or errors could put the entire
organization at tremendous risk.
wave deployment
the full functionality is deployed to parts of the organization, then, after a period of time, to another
part of the organization and so on. often called a rollout.
phased deployment
the system is deployed in meaningful subsets (usually subsets of functionality). For example, an
organisation could deploy the accounting piece of a particular software project throughout their
organization first, followed by the order entry component.
Logical vs.Physical Design
Logical is the design of what the system will do—the functionality it will carry
out, the way the user interacts with the system,
