Iterative review

What is an iterative review?

• Carrying out a review at the start of each phase, noting things that can be done to improve workflow.

• A starting review, held right at the start of the initiation phase, were most crucial decisions are decided and the project is started after this review.

• Carrying out a review at the end of the four phases, making changes as a result of the review, then repeating the process until the product is as perfect as it can get

• Carrying out a review after each task in a project, then making changes that help with the creation of the product.

A phase review should take place...

• after every task.

• after each phase (initiation, planning, execution, evaluation.)

• after the product has been created.

• when all resources have been gathered for the project.

What sort of questions should be asked at the end of the initiation phase? (Multiple choice.)

• Has the project been identified?

• What is the target age group?

• What sort of food is going to be eaten during the project?

• Has the software to be used decided?

• Has the timescale for the project been given or decided?

If these questions are not answered at the end of the initiation review then...

• the project should move on and answer the same questions in the next phase review.

• another phase review should take place until all questions are answered correctly and sufficiently.

• the project must start from the beginning.

• the PM (project manager) should be changed because of the lack of skill/ experience.

Your documentation of the phase review must include copies of question airs or surveys that might have took place in the phase.

At the start of the planning phase the phase review should take place.

• TRUE

• FALSE

What sort of questions should be asked in the planning phase review?

• Have all the tasks been identified?

• Are the timescales reasonable?

• Has the critical path been identified?

• Has enough budget been spared for movie time?

• Has the project start point been identified?

What is a critical path?

• A set of tasks needed to be completed in evaluation phase.

• A plan that the PM devises and includes the budget.

• The sequence of stages determining the minimum time needed for an operation.

• An amount of time a project should take place.

What does PLC stand for? 

• Program loss closure
• Project life cycle
• Project loss chain
• Program life cycle 

What are milestones?

• Milestones are objectives to show specific tasks that have not been completed.

• Milestones are tools used in project management to mark specific points along a project timeline.

• Goals set by the project manager that should be reached in the planning phase.
