Study Notes

Define Scope

  • Project scope statement includes: product scope description, product acceptance criteria, project deliverables, project exclusions, project constraints, and project assumptions.
  • Input: project charter, requirements documentation, and organizational process assets.
  • Tools and techniques: expert judgment, product analysis, alternatives identification, and facilitated workshops.
  • Output: project scope statement, project document updates.

Create Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

  • A WBS is a deliverable-oriented grouping of the work involved in a project, defining the total scope of the project.
  • A WBS is used for planning and managing project schedules, costs, resources, and changes.
  • Decomposition is subdividing project deliverables into smaller, manageable pieces.
  • Input: project scope statement, requirements documentation, and organizational process assets.
  • Tools and techniques: decomposition.
  • Output: WBS, WBS dictionary, scope baseline, and project document updates.

Verify Scope

  • Verify scope ensures that the project deliverables are complete and meet the stakeholders' requirements.
  • Differences in perception of project deliverables can lead to vastly different understandings of what exactly is required.
  • Input: project management plan, requirements documentation, and validated deliverables.
  • Tools and techniques: inspection and reviews.
  • Output: accepted deliverables, change requests, and project document updates.

Requirement Elicitation

  • Requirement elicitation involves gathering, documenting, and defining the stakeholders' requirements.
  • Requirements need to be translated from high-level requirements to more detailed requirements.
  • Input: project charter, stakeholder register, and requirements management plan.
  • Tools and techniques: interviews, focus groups, facilitated workshops, group creativity techniques, group decision making techniques, questionnaires and surveys, observations, prototypes, and document analysis.
  • Output: requirements documentation and requirements traceability matrix.

This quiz is about defining the scope of a software project, covering inputs, tools, and techniques, and outputs. It includes the project charter, requirements documentation, and expert judgment.
