Flashcards in this deck (27)

• What are project planning techniques?

  Techniques to define how to plan and estimate project aspects.
  project_management planning
• What is PERT?

  Program Evaluation and Review Technique; focuses on task sequencing and critical path analysis.
  project_management techniques
• What does CPM stand for?

  Critical Path Method; identifies critical tasks that determine project timeline.
  project_management techniques
• What is a Gantt Chart?

  A visual representation of tasks over time, showing dependencies and timelines.
  project_management techniques
• What is an example of using a Gantt Chart?

  For a website development project: plan tasks like designing, coding, and testing with start and end dates.
  project_management examples
• What is Process-Based Estimation?

  Breaks the project into tasks, estimates time and cost for each, then calculates total.
  project_management estimating
• What is Function Point Analysis (FPA)?

  Estimates based on the number and complexity of inputs, outputs, queries, files, and program interfaces.
  project_management estimating
• What is KLOC-Based Estimation?

  Estimates effort and cost based on predicted lines of code (e.g., 20 KLOC × 5 hours/KLOC).
  project_management estimating
• What does COCOMO stand for?

  Constructive Cost Model; uses formulas with parameters to predict effort and cost.
  project_management estimating
• What is involved in budget estimation?

  Breaking down costs into one-time and recurring expenses; using historical data.
  project_management budgeting
• What is an example of budget estimation for a mobile app?

  Effort: 500 hours; Hourly cost: $40/hour; Total Budget = 500 × $40 = $20,000.
  project_management budgeting
• What is economic feasibility?

  Analyzes costs and benefits; includes tangible and intangible benefits.
  project_management feasibility
• What are tangible benefits?

  Reduced costs, increased sales.
  project_management feasibility
• What is technical feasibility?

  Checks if technology and team skills are sufficient for the project.
  project_management feasibility
• What is operational feasibility?

  Ensures the solution fits the organization's needs and workflows.
  project_management feasibility
• What is schedule feasibility?

  Verifies if the project can be completed within the timeline.
  project_management feasibility
• What are the steps in developing a project schedule?

  1. Break down tasks 2. Identify dependencies 3. Estimate duration 4. Allocate resources 5. Create a timeline.
  project_management scheduling
• What is a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)?

  A method to break down project tasks into smaller, manageable parts.
  project_management scheduling
• What does Finish-to-Start mean in dependencies?

  Task B starts after Task A finishes.
  project_management dependencies
• What does Start-to-Start mean in dependencies?

  Tasks A and B start together.
  project_management dependencies
• What is the purpose of creating a timeline?

  Assign durations to each task and visualize using Gantt Charts or CPM/PERT networks.
  project_management scheduling
• What is a summary of Project Planning?

  Creating a roadmap to complete a project efficiently; key components include techniques, estimating, feasibility, and scheduling.
  project_management summary
• What is Resource Estimation used for?

  Calculate time, cost, and effort.
  estimation resources
• What does Feasibility Analysis ensure?

  Viability in terms of economics, technology, and time.
  feasibility analysis
