CPS 714, Final Exam || All Solutions are Accurate.
Plan Schedule Management correct answers making the documentation for planning
Define Activities correct answers identifying the steps that lead to deliverables
Sequence Activities correct answers finding the relationships between activities
Hard vs Soft Dependencies correct answers Hard = unavoidable, eg. testing after coding
Soft = due to a choice, eg. what do we start first
Lead vs Lag correct answers Lag = delay between tasks
Lead = overlaps with previous task
Estimate Activity Resources correct answers estimate the resources for each activity
Types of Resources (6) correct answers 1. People
2. Equipment
3. Knowledge
4. Services
5. Supplies
6. Facilities
Estimate Activity Duration correct answers estimate the time needed to finish an activity
Effort correct answers amount of work required
3 man-months = 1 person for 3 months / 3 people for 1 month
, Resources correct answers expressed as manpower
1 person full time = 2 people at 50%
Duration correct answers length of activity
1 week = 5 days = 40 hours
(one typical work week 9-5)
Effort Equations Examples correct answers Effort: 40 man-hours; Resources: 1 @ 100% →
D = 40 man-hours / 1 man = 40 hours = 1 week
Effort: 80 hours; Resources: 2 @ 100% →
D = 80 man-hours / 2 man = 40 hours = 1 week
Effort: 80 hours; Resources: 1 @ 50% →
D = % = 160 hours = 4 weeks
Accounting for Uncertainty (3 types of padding) correct answers Implicit padding: each activity
includes some contingency time
Explicit padding: the contingency time is explicitly modeled as an activity
React and re-plan: when a delays occurs, re-schedule
Approaches to Estimation correct answers Expert Judgement: some guy know something
PERT: probabilistic estimation
Algorithmic Techniques: algorithmic estimation
