Module 5 - Plan the Project Part 2

Who breaks down work packages into activities, identifies dependencies, estimates durations, and finds the critical path?

the Project Manager

What characterizes adaptive schedule planning?

Uses time-boxed iterations or continuous flow; relies on backlog refinement and team collaboration

what are deviation limits that trigger corrective actions in a schedule plan?

control thresholds

Which estimation technique uses formulas with unit rates and the quantity of work?

Parametric Estimating

What is the PERT estimate formula?

(O+4M+P)/6

what is the std deviation formula in the three point estimates?

(P-O0/6

What is the triangular formula in the three point estimate?

(O+M+P)/3

Which technique uses summing detailed estimates for each activity? (It is the most accurate but time consuming)

Bottum Up Estimating

What is the most common precedence relationship?

Finish to Start (FS)

What is the delay between two activities?

Lag

What is the overlap between activities

Lead?

What does the critical path show?

The longest path through the project with zero float; Determines minimum project duration

What is it called when you add resources to shorten schedule at minimal costs?

crashing

what is a blackout time?

a period when no changes are allowed

What is the average amount of work a team completes per sprint?

Velocity

What is the criteria an item must meet before work begins?
