INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROJECT
MANAGEMENT 9TH EDITION EXAM WITH
ACCURATE ANSWERS
Scope - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅-The deliverables or work products that must be
completed in order to achieve the project's MOV.
-Provides a boundary so that what needs to get done - gets done.
-Otherwise, schedule and budget are increased for no reason
-Defines what is part of the project team's work and what is not.
-This also sets expectations for all of the project's stakeholders
-Provides a link between the project's MOV and the project plan.
Project Planning Framework - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅
Project Management Process - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Scope Planning
Scope Definition
Create Work Breakdown Structure
Scope Verification
Scope Change Control
Scope Planning - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The development of a scope management plan
that defines the project's scope and how it will be verified and controlled throughout the project.
Scope Management Plan
Scope Definition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A detailed scope statement that defines what
work will and will not be part of the project and will serve as a basis for all future project
decisions. Detailed Project Scope
Create Work Breakdown Structure - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The decomposition or
dividing of the major project deliverables into smaller and more manageable components; an
important tool that ties the project's scope to resources and activities. The WBS represents a
,logical decomposition of the work to be performed and focuses on how the product, service, or
result is naturally subdivided. It is an outline of what work is to be performed.
WBS
Scope Verification - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Confirmation and formal acceptance that
the project's scope is accurate, complete, and supports the project's MOV. Scope Verification
Checklist
Scope Change Control - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Ensuring that controls are in place to
manage proposed scope changes once the project's scope is set; helps the project achieve its
MOV. These procedures must be communicated to all project stakeholders. Scope Change
Control Process (Scope Change Request Form/Scope Change Request Log)
Project Scope Initiation & Planning - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A beginning process that
formally authorizes the project manager and team to develop the scope management plan
This entails:
Conceptualizing the Scope Boundary
Developing the Scope Statement
Scope Boundary - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The first step to establishing what is, and
what is not, part of the project work to be completed by the project team (fence designed to keep
some things in (supports MOV) and other things out (does not support MOV))
Scope Management Plan - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅the processes and techniques for
defining and managing scope
Scope Statement - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Provides a way to define the scope boundary.
A narrative of what deliverables or work-products the project team will and will not provide
throughout the project.
A first step that provides a high-level abstraction of the project's scope that will be defined in
greater detail as the project progresses.
, Project Scope Definition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Where deliverables can be divided
into project- oriented deliverables and product- oriented deliverables.
Project-Oriented Scope - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Deliverables that support the project
management and IT development processes defined in the Information Technology Project
Methodology (ITPM).
Examples:
Business case, project charter and project plan, etc.
Definition Tools: DDT & DSC
Deliverable Definition Table (DDT) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅define all of the project-
oriented deliverables to be provided by the project team.
Deliverable Structure Chart (DSC) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅can be developed as an
interim step to define detailed work packages that will be used to estimate the project schedule
and budget (used to create WBS)
Product-Oriented Scope - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅High-level features and functionality
of the application system
First cut for requirements definition that will be defined in greater detail during the systems
development life cycle (SDLC)
Examples
Add new customer, look up customer balance, print daily sales report by region, etc.
Definition Tools: DFD & UCD
(Context) Dataflow Diagram (DFD) - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅modeling tool for refining
the scope boundary and defining what the system must do
Use Case Diagram - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅a powerful tool for identifying the main
functions or features of the system and the different users or external systems that interact with
the system; used in OO world as a part of Unified Modeling Language (UML)
