1. Within the Project Management Framework, WBS stands for?
Work Breakdown Structure
Summary Task
a group of related tasks
Task
a well defined component of project work
Planning - Create Budget
aggregate cost estimates at the summary task, milestone, %, or lump sum
Planning - Estimate Schedule Duration
approximate number of work period needed to complete tasks
Rough Order or Magnitude
ballpark estimate
Indirect Costs
cost not directly identified with the project
Fixed Cost Costs
cost that do not vary with the volume of output
Direct Costs
costs identified with the project
Rate
costs references to a base unit or %
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
describes the project in detail provides a list of summary tasks and subtasks that capture the steps necessary to accomplish your objective defines the scope, level of effort, and project deliverables hierarchically-structured grouping of project elements
Activity
element of work that is required by the project, uses resources, and takes time to complete
Planning - Create Schedule Resources
estimate the type and quantities of labor, material, and travel
Baseline
original plan
Critical Path
task sequence to earliest completion
Floating Task
task that can be performed earlier or later w/o affecting the critical path
Milestone
task with zero duration and resources
Duration
time in calendar units between task start and finish
Planning - Create Schedule
time-sequenced plan of tasks used to direct and control project
Variable Costs
unit of cost that varies with quantity
Resource
work (human) or material
