Estimation techniques

The WAG (Wild Altogether Guess)

Top-down(System level focus/Efficient/ Less detailed basis/ less stable)

Wideband Delphi ()

Expert judgment(Assessment of representative, interactions, exceptional circumstance

– / No better than participants/ Biases, incomplete recall) Parametric Or Algorithmic Methods

Algorithmic Models - (also known as Parametric models) produce a cost estimate using one or more mathematical algorithms using a number of variables considered to be the major cost drivers. Objective, repeatable, analyzable formula. Efficient, good for sensitivity analysis.Objectively calibrated to experience. Subjective inputs. Assessment of exceptional circumstances. Calibrated to past, not future.

WBS (Work Breakdown Structure)

Risk management includes the following tasks:

Identify risks and their triggers

Classify and prioritize all risks

Craft a plan that links each risk to a mitigation

Monitor for risk triggers during the project

Implement the mitigating action if any risk materializes

Communicate risk status throughout project

The scope helps with understanding risks and project estimates

The customer related to the scope to know what the developers will do It helps define what needs to be done and who needs to do it

All of the above

 

96. Risk Prioritization –> Requires the team to evaluate the risks with respect to the Threshold of Success

Risk Identification –> Requires the team to produce a Threshold of Success

Risk Mitigation –> Requires the team to setup a plan for dealing with the highest priority risks on the project on a regular basis

 

 

97. Project Manager –> the person responsible for ensuring that a project is delivered to specification, on time and on budget. Project managers have to co-ordinate the activities of a great many specialists.

Milestones –> are major points of achievement, or significant events in a large project.

They are usually monitored in a Project Milestone Report.

Project Scope –> The extent of what the project is designed to do. This covers functionality, systems, interfaces, processes, departments and external stakeholders (such as suppliers and customers). As well as stating what is included in a project and its boundaries, it is sometimes helpful to specify certain things that are out of scope for the project as well.

● The number of requirements divided by the resources times the hours doesn’t exceed three times the scope development time.

● The project has a fixed amount of resources to complete it

● A manager is needed for a project to exist

● The project time is unchangeable

● The goal of a project is clear and singular

 

101. To understand clearly what a project is requires elicitation techniques that work well. How can we best tell if the elicitation techniques we are using work well?

● The developers says so

● The requirements are testable

● The customer says so

● The project team is generating many requirements

● The project management says so

 

 

102. Match the correct definition with item for scope

Objectives, non goals

Why the customer needs the product; areas of the customer’s business which will be affected by this new product when built: Goals

What customer needs; items to build; Features the system should have; Stories that represent the customers’ needs: Requirements

 

104.

 

105. Match the correct description for the each Project Stakeholder(s)

 

Are external companies that enter into a contractual agreement to provide components or services necessary for the project: Vendors

Are persons or group who provides resources and support for the project and is accountable for enabling success: Sponsors

 

The persons or organizations who will approve and manages the project’s product, service, or result: Customers and users

 

 

106. Match each phase of the SEI Risk Method with correct identification

 

Make sure that the process used on your project continuously review risk and come back and ensure that risks are properly being dealt with: Something

 

Develop a mitigation strategy to deal with the highest priority risks: Track

 

Have a method to pick out the risks so that you know what they are on your project relative to a set of current conditions and future success you want to achieve: Identify

 

Have a process to take risks which have been identified and prioritize them with respect to the success criteria of the project: Analyze

 

Monitor the risks to make sure that they are properly dealt with: Control

 

107. If you have a work package consisting of the following tasks: A, B. C: D: E, F And for each task, you do know the most likely, optimistic and pessimistic times to completion.

Using the PERT estimation technique calculate the estimated duration of the work package. A (To=2, Tm=4; Tp=9) Predecessor: -

B (To=5, Tm=8: Tp=14) Predecessor: A C (To=4: Tm=10, Tp=13) Predecessor: В D (To=4: Tm=7; Tp=10) Predecessor: B

E (To=11, Tm=14, Tp=20) Predecessor: C,D F (To=9, Tm=13; Tp=16) Predecessor: E

 

(to+(4*tm) + tp) / 6
