when it has been completed, it , and the
project is credited with the original ____ value of the task
Earned and Planned
The Day-to-Day responsibility a project rest with the _______.
Project manager
Resources allocation is a step in project planning activities that
comes immediately after ______
Identifying activity risks.
Which aspect of software project management places restriction on
software developer to follow the
requirements of human clients?
Conformity.
Waterfall as a software development approach is:
The ideal approach where requirements are well defined and the
development methods are well
understood.
According to Hughes and Cotterell, (2009). A number of factors need
to be taken into consideration when
allocating individuals to tasks. Some of these factors include:
Team building, risk, and training.
In project management, cost-benefit analysis comprises of:
Expressing cost and benefits in common units.Identifying all the
costs and benefits of carrying out the project and operating the
delivered
application.
One of the main strategy a project manager considers when drawing up
plans to bring a project back on
target is to shorten the critical path. Which of the following is not
one of the ways to shorten a critical path?
Reduce the use of current resources.
Brainstorming and checklist are two main approaches to _____?
Risk Identification.
The basis of successful project management is:
, 1. Accurate information.
2. Identifying the project stake holder's objectives.
3. Ensuring that these objectives are met.
The first step in producing a resource allocation plan is to
To list the required resources and there expected level of demand.
PBSs indicate:
a. The hierarchy of the products in a PBS.
b. The precedence between the components of a PBS.
c. The cost and benefits associated with a PBS.
______ Cost category ensures that projects are charged directly for
use of resources.
Usage cost.
Which of the following is not true about the similarity between PERT
and CPM networks:
They both indicate the earliest date by which a date a project could
be completed.
Which of the following is not one of the difficulties affecting
software estimation efforts:
Lack of heterogeneity of project experience.
_________ is the process of planning, leading, and controlling the
efforts of organizational members and the
use of other organizational resources in order to achieve stated
organizational goals, simply implies a
process of structured activities.
Management
_________ is the composition of Software Project Management scope
where normally an outline plan is
formulated for the entire project and detailed plans for each phase
of the project as they are encountered.
This may include, but are certainly not limited to, work- and product
breakdown structures (for the entire
project as well as per phase), quality standards, risk management and
change control procedures, resource
allocation, time management and costing calculations.
Project Planning.
The following statement best describe which aspect that is unique to
a software project management
as compared to general project management?
"The ease with which software can be changed is seen as one of its
strengths. Due to the fact that software
is generally expected to conform to existing systems in an
organization and not vice versa, software
systems are likely to be subject to a high degree of change."
Flexibility.
