MIST 5740s – EXAM 1 EXAM WITH
CORRECT ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED ANSWERS
LATEST ALREADY GRADED A+
Project Creep - ANSWERS--most common term and problem
-adding features or capabilities incrementally
-things that were not a part of the original scope
- sometimes trying to be nice to clients, sometimes "good
ideas" for improvements come later than scope definition -
very dangerous to project success
Scope Leap - ANSWERS-drastic change or increase in the
project's scope - e.g., instead of software, why don't you
just build me some new hardware
Triple Constraints is also known as - ANSWERS-the Iron
Triangle
Steps to Project Management - ANSWERS--conceptualize
and initialize project
,-develop project plan & charter
-project execution and control (PLC phases)
-close project
-evaluate project
Initiation Step - ANSWERS--Change leaders need to think
about the business case of the project, and be sure to
conceptualize the goals for the project in a way that is
consistent with this business case.
-Business models such as the Business Model Canvas help
with this.
Develop Project Plan Step - ANSWERS-This is when we
translate the goals of the project - the reason for doing the
project in the first place - into actionable steps
-A variety of documents are developed in this planning
phase, and these documents are used to manage the project
and keep it on track. Three important documents that are
part of virtually every project are:
*Project charter
*Work breakdown structure
*Project Schedule
,Execute and Control Project Step - ANSWERS-controlling
steps of a project in where we would see SDLC.
-This is when the analysis of existing systems and processes
takes place, and when new ones are developed and
implemented
SLDC can be viewed as - ANSWERS-a step in Project
Management
Project LifeCycle - ANSWERS--Define
-Plan
-Execute
-Closeout
Difference between project lifecycle and Project
management functions - ANSWERS-The lifecycle is linear
and the phase boundaries represent decision points
POLC - ANSWERS--planning
-organizing
-leading
-controlling
, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) - ANSWERS-A hierarchical
chart used to organize tasks of a project into related areas
-Tree diagram or outline
-WBS at each level provide measurable delivarables
-Each of tasks are made of subtasks
-Common practice to keep time estimates
WBS are used by project managers for - ANSWERS-a variety
of purposes, including
-dividing responsibilities among project participants,
-monitor activities and their milestones,
-and allocate project budget
Deliverables - ANSWERS--objects
*tangible, verifiable work products and documentation
(reports, presentations, prototypes, etc)
Milestones - ANSWERS-events
-Significant events or achievements
-Acceptance of deliverables or phase completion
