Scope Verification范围确认 – to verify that the work done satisfies the scope of the project. It must be done at the end of each phase. A similar activity
during closure is Product Verification. Focus on customer acceptance /performance measurement, not change to project scope. Scope
Verification is normally done in parallel with quality control (which checks for product correctness). Occur during the control phase of the project, not at the end. The review at the end of the project phase is called phase exit, stage gate, or kill point.证实所做的工作服和项目范围。在每一个阶段都要做这个范围确认工作。在收尾阶段的一个类似活动是产品确认。关注于客户满意/绩效测量,而不是变更项目范围。范围确认与质量控制(检验产品正确性)同步进行。发生于项目的控制阶段而非收尾阶段。项目阶段末的检查通常被称为阶段出口,阶段门或终止点。 Cost Account成本账号 – one level above the Work Package.工作包的上一层
Cost/Benefit analysis成本/利益分析– (part of scope planning) technique used to validate that the project can meet the technical/business objectives
set forth by Sr. Management(范围计划编制的一部分)技术用于证实项目可以达到由高级管理所确定的技术/商业目标 Project success depends primarily on customer satisfaction.项目成功主要依赖于客户的满意度。
Assumptions假设 – factors that, for planning purposes, are considered to be true, real or certain在计划编制过程中被认为真的、对的、确定的因素 The principal sources of project failure are organizational factors, poorly identified customer needs, inadequate specified project requirements, and
poor planning and control.主要的项目失败原因是组织因素,差的客户需求定义,不充分的项目需求说明和缺少计划编制和控制
Constrained optimization约束优化 – includes analytic hierarchy process, logical framework analysis and multi-objective programming.包括层次分析
法,逻辑框图分析法和多目标编程 Most Change Requests are the result of: 多数变更请求的原因 An external event 一个外部事件 An error or omission in defining the scope of the product 产品范围定义中的错误或冗长 An error or omission in defining the scope of the project 项目范围定义中的错误或冗长 A value-adding change 一个增值变更 A Change Request is the most effective way of handling the disconnect between what users actually want and what management thinks they want. The project manager’s role related to project change is to influence the factors that affect change. He should ask for a change order and look for impacts to the triple constraint. Scope Changes on project can be minimized by spending more time developing the scope baseline.一个变更请求是处理客户真正需求和管理所认为其需求之间差异的最有效的方法。项目经理在项目变更中的相关角色是对变更的因素施加影响。他决定提交一个变更申请并平衡三重约束之间的矛盾。花更多的时间制订范围基线可以使项目范围变更的可能性降至最低。
If there is enough reserve to accommodate a change, the Project Manager can approve the change (we are paid to manage the scope completion within our budget and reserves)在可以允许的范围之内,项目经理可以批准变更(用预算和应急储备支付)
