Random Short Notes on Project Management #PMP – Project Management

By Author-Check- Article-or-Video in FromSitesTree.com, প্রকল্প নিয়ন্ত্রণ । Project Management (PMP) Basics

Collocation is a team development tool where the entire team is brought together in a single location
The quality policy is a document where the performing organization lists their attitude towards quality. Quality policy may differ from organization to organization. For example, a pharmaceutical company will have stricter quality policy than a toy manufacturing company.
Schedule Performance Index: http://www.ajdesigner.com/phpearnedvalue/schedule_performance_index.php
Cost Budgeting: http://www.anticlue.net/archives/000778.htm
Risk Monitoring and Control: http://www.truesolutions.com/free-pmi-pmp-exam-prep-lecture-series/risk-monitoring-and-control.html
The primary purpose of Project Network Diagram: Show the sequence of activities and their dependencies
Project Network Diagram: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_network
Project Monitoring and Control Involves: Evaluating Overall Project Performance on a Regular Basis.
In the Project Management Process, on a regular basis (or time to time), you have to check what you have done, and what is next. For example, when you have finished the plan Purchases and Acquisation Processes, and the Plan Contreacting Process, the next process can be request seller responses
Creating Project Budget involves: Cost Estimates, Schedules, and Resource Calendar
Mandatory Dependency: Useful in creating Project Network Diagram: Software must be written before it can be tested (though test cases can be written/thought before software)
Milestone Chart shows only the major events in project timeline. Gantt chart shows detail progress in project timeline
After the creation of the Project Scope Statement, and Work Breakdown Structure, the activity list needs to be created
A sequence of activities in Project Managenment: Create the activity list, create a network diagram, determine the critical path, develop the project schedule
Run charts show trends and variances over time and are used in quality management
Quality control and scope verification are very tightly linked and are usually done at the same time. Quality control: verify correctness, Scope Verification: Verify completeness
After your company has bought a new company, you find that the new company produces a similar product (where your company is in the middle of the project to create the similar product). If you decide to terminate the project, you should carry out the project close process.
Benefit Cost Ratio = 1.5. The project will make revenue 1.5 times than it’s cost.
The activity list is the main input to the Activity Resource Estimating
Life cycle costing: The total cost of ownership= production cost + operational cost + scrap value +….
Control Account Plan: http://www.project-management-knowledge.com/definitions/c/control-account-plan/
Expectancy Theory: Reward motivation will work only if the team believes that the goal is achieveable

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

By Author-Check- Article-or-Video in FromSitesTree.com, প্রকল্প নিয়ন্ত্রণ । Project Management (PMP) Basics

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

Reference: Andy Crowe, the PMP Exam.
