Random Short Notes on Project Management (PMI) #PMP – Project Management

Scope management plan: specifies how changes to the scope will be managed (in addition to specifying the scope).
Initiating a project: Involves two documents: Develop Project Charter, and Develop Preliminary Scope Statement
Project Managers should act openly, and honestly. Should confront situations directly whenever possible/applicable.
Project charter that officially creates a project should: include the business need behind the project – why the project was undertaken.
After you/your team gets approval for the scope statement, the next process to start is – WBS process (that outputs work breakdown structure)
Input to scope definition: Organizational process assets, Project Charter, Preliminary project scope statement
In Project Integration Phase, project managers should: solve problems and make decisions (not the team)
WBS dictionary contains Work Package Descriptions
Scope Verification is the process where the customer and sponsor verify that: the deliverables match with what was in the scope
Statement of Work (SOW): Describes the pieces of the project that are to be performed by an outside vendor.
As a code of conduct, PMPs are instructed to avoid conflicts of interest.
Purpose of WBS serves: increase the accuracy of estimates, help facilitate roles and responsibilities, define a baseline for project performance
