PMP Zertifizierung - Definitionen

Skilled human resources (specific disciplines either individually or in crews or teams), equipment, services, supplies, commodities, material, budgets, or funds.. . . . .

An estimating technique that uses the values of parameters, such as scope, cost, budget, and duration or measures of scale such as size, weight, and complexity from a previous, similar activity as the basis for estimating the same parameter or measure for a future activity.. . . . .

An analytical technique that uses three cost or duration estimates to represent the optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic scenarios. This technique is applied to improve the accuracy of the estimates of cost or duration when the underlying activity or cost component is uncertain.. . . .

A category or rank used to distinguish items that have the same functional use (e.g., ÒhammerÓ), but do not share the same requirements for quality (e.g., different hammers may need to withstand different amounts of force).. . . . .

Documents and data on prior projects including project files, records, correspondence, closed contracts, and closed projects.. . . . .

The members of the project team who are directly involved in project management activities. On some smaller projects, the project management team may include virtually all of the project team members.. . . .

The process of identifying and documenting project roles, responsibilities, and required skills, reporting relationships, and creating a staffing management plan.. . . . .

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.. . . . .

A quantitative assessment of the likely amount or outcome. Usually applied to project costs, resources, effort, and durations and is usually preceded by a modifier (i.e., preliminary, conceptual, feasibility, order-of-magnitude, definitive). It should always include some indication of accuracy (e.g., ± x percent). See also budget and cost.. .

A collection of formal documented procedures that define how project deliverables and documentation will be controlled, changed, and approved. In most application areas, the change control system is a subset of the configuration management system.. . . .

A collection of projects or programs and other work that are grouped together to facilitate effective management of that work to meet strategic business objectives. The projects or programs of the portfolio may not necessarily be interdependent or directly related.. . . .

A group of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain benefits and control not available from managing them individually. Programs may include elements of related work outside of the scope of the discrete projects in the program.. . . .

An organizational placement strategy where the project team members are physically located close to one another in order to improve communication, working relationships, and productivity.. . . . .

A deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables. It organizes and defines the total scope of the project.. . . .

A schedule activity that has low total ß oat. The concept of near-critical is equally applicable to a schedule activity or schedule network path. The limit below which total float is considered near critical is subject to expert judgment and varies from project to project.. . .

A quantifiable deviation, departure, or divergence away from a known baseline or expected value.. . . . .

The planned dates for performing schedule activities and the planned dates for meeting schedule milestones.. . . . .

The aggregate of things used by an organization in any undertaking, such as equipment, apparatus, tools, machinery, gear, material, and supplies.. . . . .

Generally, but not always, the sequence of schedule activities that determines the duration of the project. It is the longest path through the project. See also critical path methodology.. . .

Collect Requirements is the process of defining and documenting stakeholdersÕ needs to meet the project objectives.. . . . .

The process of monitoring the status of the project to update the project budget and managing changes to the cost baseline.. . . . .

The process of identifying all people or organizations impacted by the project, and documenting relevant information regarding their interests, involvement, and impact on project success.. . . . .

Those processes performed to establish the total scope of the effort, define and refine the objectives, and develop the course of action required to attain those objectives.. . . . .

A document that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines, or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context.. . . . .

The process of numerically analyzing the effect of identified risks on overall project objectives.. . . . .

A schedule network diagramming technique in which schedule activities are represented by boxes (or nodes). Schedule activities are graphically linked by one or more logical relationships to show the sequence in which the activities are to be performed.. . . .

A structure that relates the project organizational breakdown structure to the work breakdown structure to help ensure that each component of the projectÕs scope of work is assigned to a person or team.. . . . .

A partially complete document in a predefined format that provides a defined structure for collecting, organizing, and presenting information and data.. . . . .

A group of related schedule activities aggregated at some summary level, and displayed/reported as a single activity at that summary level. See also subproject and subnetwork.. . . .

Indications that a risk has occurred or is about to occur. Triggers may be discovered in the risk identification process and watched in the risk monitoring and control process. Triggers are sometimes called risk symptoms or warning signs.. . .

Requirements imposed by a governmental body. These requirements can establish product, process, or service characteristics, including applicable administrative provisions that have government-mandated compliance.. . . .

A graphical representation of situations showing causal influences, time ordering of events, and other relationships among variables and outcomes.. . . . .

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.. . . . .

The process of developing a document that formally authorizes a project or a phase and documenting initial requirements that satisfy the stakeholderÕs needs and expectations.. . . . .
