Chapter 4 Flashcards
Define Project Management Plan
The project management plan is an assortment of documents that describes what the project is, what the project will deliver, and how all the project processes will be managed.
What is the Scope Management Plan?
The scope management plan describes how the project team will define project scope, verify the work of the project, and manage and control scope.
Define Scope Creep
Scope creep involves changing the project or product scope without considering the impacts it will have to the project schedule, budget, and resources.
What is the scope statement?
The scope statement includes all the components that make up the product or service of the project and the results the project intents to produce.
What is product scope?
The product scope describes the features and functions of the product, as well as documents the major characteristics of the product.
What does the product manager do?
The product manager oversees the existing products and the development of new products for the organization.
What are Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)?
KPIs are metrics that help you determine whether the project is on track and progressing as planned and whether deliverables meet expectations.
What is Exclusions from scope?
Exclusions from scope are anything that isn’t included as a deliverable or work of the project.
What is an Order of Magnitude?
Order of magnitude are estimates based on actual duration and cost of similar projects or the expert judgement of someone familiar with the work of the project.
Define Business requirements
An organization’s business requirements are the big-picture results of fulfilling a project and how they satisfy business goals, strategy, and perspective.
Define Functional requirements
Functional requirements are the product characteristics needed for the product to perform.
Define Nonfunctional Requirements
Nonfunctional requirements describe the characteristics of the functional requirements. They are not performance - or behavioral-based.
Name the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) phases
Planning - This involves determining scope, what problem are we trying to solve, resources, costs, and more.
Defining - The functional requirements are defined here. This involves determining the “what” the application should do.
Designing -The system design involves determining the specifications of the system and defining the features of the requirements.
Building - This is the actual process of writing the code. Testing - Testing of the code is performed by the quality assurance team, end users, and others. This ensures the application works as intended and the requirements, features, and functionality perform as designed. Deploying - After testing is performed and corrections are made to code and retested, the code is deployed to production, where end users can access and use the application.
