- 1What are the four phases of the project life cycle?Initiation, Planning, Execution and Evaluation
- 2Give 3 tasks that need to be completed during the Initiation and Planning phasesInitiation:
Gather user requirements,
Define Success Criteria,
Create Feasibility Report
Planning:
Create Project Plans,
Produce Initial Designs,
Create Test Plans - 3Give 3 tasks that need to be completed during the Execution and Evaluation phasesExecution:
Use project plan to monitor project,
Create deliverable product,
Test deliverable product
Evaluation:
Release deliverable product to client,
Create user documentation,
Final phase/Project review - 4What 2 constraints could be defined during the initiation phase? Explain your answerAny of these answers are correct:
1. Timescale for the completion of the project
2. Budget for the project provided by the client
3.Security requirements, including physical and logical and legislation implications
4. Hardware/software that should be used during the development of the final product, usually defined by the client - 5What 2 different types of user documentation could be created during the evaluation phase?Any of these answers are correct:
1. Installation guides
2. User guides
3. Test plans
4. Security details - 6What are two advantages of following a project life cycle? Describe them.Any of these answers are correct:
1. The roles and responsibilities of each project team member are clearly defined.
2. Resources that can be used by the project team members are allocated at the start of the project.
3. The client is able to visually see where the project should be and where it really is - 7Why is there no interaction between the Evaluation and Initiation phases?When the evaluation phase has been completed, the project is finished this means there is no phase after the evaluation phase for it to interact with.
- 8Which phases interact with the Execution phase?Planning and Evaluation
- 9What is meant by "interaction"?Interaction is how the phases of the project life cycle link together
- 10Identify and Describe one output from the initiation phaseAny of these answers is correct
1. Feasibility report that answers the questions asked during the phase. The report may include different proposed solutions, and considers the client-defined constraints and requirements.
2. Legislation implications, which will depend on the type of product being created and the assets being used. These may need to be reviewed during the project to ensure that the most up-to-date legislation is being considered.
3. Phase review, which considers the feasibility report and decides whether the project can continue to the planning phase. - 11What two tasks would be carried out during the planning phase review?Any of these answers are correct
1. Consider the project plan, test plans and the constraints list.
2. Check there are no omissions in the documents.
3. Omissions and issues are resolved or return to initiation phase (iteration).
4. Project plan, test plans and constraints list are checked and agreed by the client. - 12What does the term SMART stand forSpecific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time - 13Describe what is meant by the ‘time constraint’The "time constraint" is defined by the client. This is usually the time given to complete the project and deliver a fully working and installed product.
- 14Explain why it is important to set success criteria for a projectThe project needs to be measured against success criteria to see if it has been successful.
If measurable and realistic success criteria are set then the project is more likely to succeed.
Success criteria can be generic or specific.
Specific success criteria can increase the likelihood that the finished product will meet the needs of the client and therefore be successful. - 15Describe the purpose of a Visualisation DiagramTo show what the final product will look like using a rough sketch or drawing. A visualisation diagram is used to plan a product. They can also be used to show the format and layout of outputs from a product, or to help people understand numerical data.
- 16Identify two components of a GANTT ChartAny of these answers is correct:
1. Date/days along the top
2. Tasks down the left-hand side
3. Blocks to represent the time allocated to each task
• Milestones as diamonds/triangles
• Dependent tasks
• Concurrent tasks
