4 Project Management (PM) Context A temporary endeavor undertaken to create a i d i l i progressive elaboration. Project unique product, service, or result, using Program A group of related projects managed in a coordinatedway to obtain benefits andcontrol not available from managing them individually. Portfolio Subproject Project Management Office (PMO) A collection of projects or programs and other work that are groupedtogether to facilitate effective management to meet strategic business objectives. A smaller portion of the overall project created when a project is subdivided into more manageable components or pieces. An organizational unit to centralize and coordinate the management of projects under its domain. UpStart Systems 04/03/2008 PMBOK and CMMI for Project Management PMBOK Guide Section 1. and Glossary 4

5 Progressive Elaboration and Scope (An overlooked project characteristic related to temporary and unique. ) Progressive Elaboration Developing in steps Continuing by increments Not necessarily cyclical, iterative development Scope Products, services, and results to be provided by a project Project scope: the work to be performed Scope Changes Any change, usually requiring cost and/or schedule change (and reverse) Scope Creep Adding project scope (features / functions) without addressing effects on schedule (time), cost, and resources, or without customer approval Complete view of scope creep?

30 CMMI Sidebar What is IPPD? Integrated dproduct and Process Development IPPD approach that includes practices that help organizations achieve the timely collaboration of relevant stakeholders throughout the life of the product to satisfy customers needs, expectations, and requirements [DoD 1996]. When using processes that support an IPPD approach, you should integrate these processes with other processes in the organization. To support those using IPPD related processes, the CMMI for Development constellation allows organizations to optionally select the IPPD group of additions.

41 Worry, Fear, Frustration, Sadness, and Anger Manifesto for Agile Software Development (for Contrast) We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
