DİPLOMATİK YAZIŞMA VE PROTOKOL

It is an activity with a specific and unique objective.

The major aim of the project is to satisfy the requirements of customers; to achieve this, a project needs to have some characteristics.

A project is not related with every day’s routine and repetitive/ordinary work. While the routine work, often called Business As Usual (BAU), occurs/repeats in cycles, a project is performed just once, and when the desired result is reached, the project ends.

What is not a Project? A project is not related with every day’s routine and repetitive/ordinary work. While the routine work, often called Business As Usual (BAU), occurs/repeats in cycles, a project is performed just once, and when the desired result is reached, the project ends.

Scope definition is the process of developing a detailed description of the project and product.

Milestone: A significant point or event in the project. A milestone is a point with zero duration that indicates a cumulative sequence of events while performing the project. It also symbolizes an important achievement in a project.

The WBS organizes and defines the total scope of the project, and represents the work specified in the current approved project scope statement (PMI®, 2008).

A work package may include several milestones.

In the project network, the logical sequence of project activities which sum up to the longest total duration, gives the “critical path.” The critical path is the shortest possible time to complete the project, which also includes the interdependencies of activities and their start and finish times. The project network gives information to the project managers with respect to whether the project is on time, within budget and the performance measure.

Merge activity: This is an activity that has more than one activity immediately preceding it (more than one dependency arrow flowing to it).

A project is not related with every day’s routine and repetitive/ordinary work. While the routine work, often called Business As Usual (BAU), occurs/repeats in cycles, a project is performed just once, and when the desired result is reached, the project ends.

All the options except E are the examples of ordinary work. Creating a new yoga video on Youtube is a project.

Writing the scope statement is done in the second phase of the scope management.

While developing project networks, there are two approaches that can be used: activity-on-node (AON) approach is one of the methods to be used. To draw an AON project network, one needs to obey certain rules. One of them is:

There should be no conditional statements between activities. Therefore, option A is NOT true.

Path: A sequence of connected, dependent activities.

Total slack timeis the maximum allowable delay that can occur for noncritical
activities. Once this slack is used up, noncritical activities become critical and
further delays of these activities will delay the project completion.

Free slack is computed by the following formula: Free slack for activity= ES (earliest start of the successor)-EF (activity)

In AOA diagrams, a dummy activity depicts the precedence relationships. It behaves as a link, but it is not a “real” activity, so it does not have time duration.

A work package has a deliverable result. Each work package should have its own outcome. One work package does not summarize or modify another. Together, work packages identify all the work that must be contributed to complete the project.

Clearly, project scope is the keystone engaging all elements of a project plan. To guarantee that scope definition is complete, the following checklist can be used:
a. Project objective
b. Deliverables
c. Milestones
d. Technical Requirements
e. Limits and Exclusions
f. Reviews with customer
