|
Accepted Deliverables.
|
Products, results, or capabilities produced by a project and validated by the project customer or sponsors as meeting their specified acceptance criteria.
|
|
|
Accuracy.
|
Within the quality management system, accuracy is an assessment of correctness.
|
|
|
Acquire Project Team.
|
The process of confirming human resource availability and obtaining the team necessary to complete project activities.
|
|
|
Acquisition.
|
Obtaining human and material resources necessary to perform project activities. Acquisition implies a cost of resources, and is not necessarily financial.
|
|
|
Activity.
|
A distinct, scheduled portion of work performed during the course of a project.
|
|
|
Activity Attributes.
|
Multiple attributes associated with each schedule activity that can be included within the activity list. Activity attributes include activity codes, predecessor activities, successor activities, logical relationships, leads and lags, resource requirements, imposed dates, constraints, and assumptions.
|
|
|
Activity Code.
|
One or more numerical or text values that identify characteristics of the work or in some way categorize the schedule activity that allows filtering and ordering of activities within reports.
|
|
|
Activity Cost Estimates.
|
The projected cost of the schedule activity that includes the cost for all resources required to perform and complete the activity, including all cost types and cost components.
|
|
|
Activity Duration.
|
The time in calendar units between the start and finish of a schedule activity. See also duration.
|
|
|
Activity Duration Estimate.
|
A quantitative assessment of the likely amount or outcome for the duration of an activity.
|
|
|
Activity Identifier.
|
A short, unique numeric or text identification assigned to each schedule activity to differentiate that project activity from other activities. Typically unique within any one project schedule network diagram.
|
|
|
Activity List.
|
A documented tabulation of schedule activities that shows the activity description, activity identifier, and a sufficiently detailed scope of work description so project team members understand what work is to be performed.
|
|
|
Activity Network Diagrams.
|
See project schedule network diagram.
|
|
|
Activity-on-Node (AON).
|
See precedence diagramming method (PDM).
|
|
|
Activity Resource Requirements.
|
The types and quantities of resources required for each activity in a work package.
|
|
|
Actual Cost (AC).
|
The realized cost incurred for the work performed on an activity during a specific time period.
|
|
|
Actual Duration.
|
The time in calendar units between the actual start date of the schedule activity and either the data date of the project schedule if the schedule activity is in progress or the actual finish date if the schedule activity is complete.
|
|
|
Adaptive Life Cycle.
|
A project life cycle, also known as change-driven or agile methods, that is intended to facilitate change and require a high degree of ongoing stakeholder involvement. Adaptive life cycles are also iterative and incremental, but differ in that iterations are very rapid (usually 2–4 weeks in length) and are fixed in time and resources.
|
|
|
Additional Quality Planning Tools.
|
A set of tools used to define the quality requirements and to plan effective quality management activities. They include, but are not limited to: brainstorming, force field analysis, nominal group techniques and quality management and control tools.
|
|
|
Adjusting Leads and Lags.
|
A technique used to find ways to bring project activities that are behind into alignment with plan during project execution.
|
|
|
Advertising.
|
The process of calling public attention to a project or effort.
|
|
|
Affinity Diagram.
|
A group creativity technique that allows large numbers of ideas to be classified into groups for review and analysis.
|
|
|
Agreements.
|
Any document or communication that defines the initial intentions of a project. This can take the form of a contract, memorandum of understanding (MOU), letters of agreement, verbal agreements, email, etc.
|
|
|
Alternative Analysis.
|
A technique used to evaluate identified options in order to select which options or approaches to use to execute and perform the work of the project.
|
|
|
Alternatives Generation.
|
A technique used to develop as many potential options as possible in order to identify different approaches to execute and perform the work of the project.
|
|
|
Analogous Estimating.
|
A technique for estimating the duration or cost of an activity or a project using historical data from a similar activity or project.
|
|
|
Analytical Techniques.
|
Various techniques used to evaluate, analyze, or forecast potential outcomes based on possible variations of project or environmental variables and their relationships with other variables.
|
|
|
Application Area.
|
A category of projects that have common components significant in such projects, but are not needed or present in all projects. Application areas are usually defined in terms of either the product (i.e., by similar technologies or production methods) or the type of customer (i.e., internal versus external, government versus commercial) or industry sector (i.e., utilities, automotive, aerospace, information technologies, etc.). Application areas can overlap.
|
|
|
Applying Leads and Lags.
|
A technique that is used to adjust the amount of time between predecessor and successor activities.
|
|
|
Apportioned Effort.
|
An activity where effort is allotted proportionately across certain discrete efforts and not divisible into discrete efforts. [Note: Apportioned effort is one of three earned value management (EVM) types of activities used to measure work performance.]
|
|
|
Approved Change Request.
|
A change request that has been processed through the integrated change control process and approved.
|
|
|
Approved Change Requests Review.
|
A review of the change requests to verify that these were implemented as approved.
|
|
|
Assumption.
|
A factor in the planning process that is considered to be true, real, or certain, without proof or demonstration.
|
|
|
Assumptions Analysis.
|
A technique that explores the accuracy of assumptions and identifies risks to the project from inaccuracy, inconsistency, or incompleteness of assumptions.
|
|
|
Attribute Sampling.
|
Method of measuring quality that consists of noting the presence (or absence) of some characteristic (attribute) in each of the units under consideration. After each unit is inspected, the decision is made to accept a lot, reject it, or inspect another unit.
|
|
|
Authority.
|
The right to apply project resources, expend funds, make decisions, or give approvals.
