MIS 573 Chapter 5
What is the main technique used in creating a WBS, which involves subdividing project deliverables into smaller pieces? conglomeration accumulation decomposition catalyzation
c
Which approach for constructing a WBS involves refining the work into greater and greater levels of detail? analogy bottom-up top-down mind mapping
c
Which approach for constructing a WBS starts with the largest items of the project and breaks them into subordinate items? analogy bottom-up top-down mind mapping
c
Which action involves normalizing acceptance of the project deliverables and during this phase the key project stakeholders, such as the customer and sponsor for the project, inspect and then formally accept the deliverables? Creating scope Defining scope Controlling scope Validating scope
d
Which document contains a deliverable-oriented grouping of the work involved in a project that defines the total scope of the project? project charter business case project scope statement work breakdown structure
d
Which process involves identifying and modeling business events, who initiated them, and how the system should respond to them? Prototyping JAD RAD Use case modeling
d
Which statement best describes scope? each level of work that is outlined in a work breakdown structure end product created as part of a project that is delivered to the client tasks that are decomposed into smaller tasks in a work breakdown structure work involved in creating the products and the processes used to create them
d
Which task is at the lowest level of the WBS? variance objective deliverable work package
d
Which technique is used for creating a WBS uses branches radiating from a core idea to structure thoughts and ideas instead of writing down tasks in a list or immediately trying to create a structure for tasks? analogy bottom-up top-down mind mapping
d
A work package represents one component of the product that the project aims to deliver.
f
Deliverables are only product-related, such as a piece of hardware or software.
f
Project scope statements must include the project boundaries, constraints, and assumptions.
f
The executing tasks of the WBS remain constant from project to project.
f
The project's size, complexity, importance, and other factors do not affect how much effort is spent on collecting requirements for scope planning.
f
The scope baseline in a WBS consists of the requirements documentation and enterprise environmental factors.
f
What is scope creep? the tendency for project scope to keep getting bigger and bigger subdividing project deliverables into smaller pieces the approved project scope statement and its associated WBS. a task at the lowest level of the WBS
a
What process involves formal acceptance of the completed project scope by the stakeholders? Scope validation Scope planning Scope control Scope baseline
a
Creating the WBS is a subprocess associated with which process in project scope management? planning monitoring and controlling closing executing
a
What is a table that lists requirements, their various attributes, and the status of the requirements to ensure that all are addressed referred to as? requirements traceability matrix Gantt chart state transition table entity-attribute-value model
a
During which approach do team members first identify as many specific tasks related to the project as possible and then aggregate the specific tasks and organize them into summary activities, or higher levels in the WBS? analogy bottom-up top-down mind mapping
b
Which action involves reviewing the project charter, requirements documents, and organizational process assets to create a scope statement, adding more information as requirements are developed and change requests are approved? Creating scope Defining scope Controlling scope Validating scope
b
Which document should list and describe all of the deliverables required for the project? project charter scope statement WBS Gantt chart
b
Which output documents how project needs will be analyzed, documented, and managed? requirements traceability matrix requirements management plan WBS project scope statement
b
Which process involves generating ideas by comparing specific project practices or product characteristics to those of other projects or products inside or outside the performing organization? variance benchmarking prototyping decomposition
b
Which process uses highly organized and intensive workshops to bring together project stakeholders—the sponsor, users, business analysts, programmers, and so on—to jointly define and design information systems? Prototyping JAD RAD Use case modeling
b
Which term refers to the difference between planned and actual performance? Decomposition Variance Scope validation Scope creep
b
A unit of work should appear at only one place in the WBS.
t
Many information technology projects also require detailed functional and design specifications for developing software, which also should be referenced in the detailed scope statement.
t
Mind mapping allows people to write and even draw pictures of ideas in a nonlinear format.
t
Project scope management includes the processes involved in defining and controlling what is or is not included in a project.
t
Scope creep if not managed well can lead to the failure of information technology projects.
t
Scope refers to all the work involved in creating the products of the project and the processes used to create them.
t
The main purpose of the WBS is to define all of the work required to complete a project.
t
The scope management plan can be informal and broad or formal and detailed, based on the needs of the project.
