5.2.2.4 Group Creativity Techniques
Several group activities can be organized to identify project and product requirements. Some of the group creativity techniques that can be used are:
Brainstorming. A technique used to generate and collect multiple ideas related to project and product requirements. Although brainstorming by itself does not include voting or prioritization, it is often used with other group creativity techniques that do.
Nominal group technique. A technique that enhances brainstorming with a voting process used to rank the most useful ideas for further brainstorming or for prioritization.
Idea/mind mapping. A technique in which ideas created through individual brainstorming sessions are consolidated into a single map to reflect commonality and differences in understanding, and generate new ideas.
Affinity diagram. A technique that allows large numbers of ideas to be classifed into groups for review and analysis.
Multicriteria decision analysis. A technique that utilizes a decision matrix to provide a systematic analytical approach for establishing criteria, such as risk levels, uncertainty, and valuation, to evaluate and rank many ideas.

  1. Product analysis
  2. Project charter
  3. Scope baseline
  4. Project scope statement

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

4.1.3.1 Project Charter
The project charter is the document issued by the project initiator or sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. It documents the business needs, assumptions, constraints, the understanding of the customer’s needs and high-level requirements, and the new product, service, or result that it is intended to satisfy, such as:
Project purpose or justification,
Measurable project objectives and related success criteria, High-level requirements,
Assumptions and constraints,
High-level project description and boundaries, High-level risks,
Summary milestone schedule, Summary budget, Stakeholder list,
Project approval requirements (i.e., what constitutes project success, who decides the project is successful, and who signs off on the project),

Assigned project manager, responsibility, and authority level, and
Name and authority of the sponsor or other person(s) authorizing the project charter.

Process: 5.3 Define Scope

A project manager has created an issue log to document issues communicated by project team members during weekly team meetings. This is an input of:

  1. Manage Stakeholder Expectations.
  2. Monitor and Control Risks.
  3. Plan Risk Management.
  4. Report Performance.

Answer(s): A



Which of the following is a tool and technique used to monitor risk?

  1. Technical performance measurement
  2. Cost performance baseline
  3. Benchmarking
  4. Cost of quality

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

11.6.2.4 Technical Performance Measurement
Technical performance measurement compares technical accomplishments during project execution to the schedule of technical achievement. It requires the definition of objective, quantifable measures of technical performance, which can be used to compare actual results against targets. Such technical performance measures may include weight, transaction times, number of delivered defects, storage capacity, etc. Deviation, such as demonstrating more or less functionality than planned at a milestone, can help to forecast the degree of success in achieving the project’s scope.
