Define the Following Data Gathering Tools and Techniques Flashcards

Data Gathering toolCompare actual or planned project practices or projects quality standards to those of comparable projects or industries Used in Quality Allows for analogies from different area or industry

• Data Gathering tool
• Identify a list of ideas in a short period of time
• Conducted in a group environment

Data Gathering techniqueAlso known as Tally sheets Used in Control Quality Process Useful for gathering attribute data for inspection

Data Gathering technique List of items to be consideredUsed as a reminderDeveloped based on historical info and knowledge Used in Identify risk and others

Data Gathering technique Brings stake holder and SMEs to learn about their expectations and attitudesMore conversational

Data Gathering technique

• Collect info from stakeholders directly
• Performed by asking prepared and spontaneous questions.
• Useful in obtaining confidential info

Data Gathering technique Examination of industry and specific seller capabilities Used in Plan procurement process

Data Gathering technique Written set of questions designed to accumulate info from large no. of respondents, geographically dispersed, when statistical analysis could be appropriate.

Data Gathering technique Part of a population of interest for inspection Used in Control Quality process

Data Analysis technique Used to evaluate identified options in order to select the options or approaches.

Data Analysis technique Evaluating other characteristics of risks:Urgency - Period of time within which a response to the risk is to be implemented. Short Period - High UrgencyProximity - Period of time before the risk might have impact on other projects.Short Period - High ProximityDormancy - Period of time that may elapse after a risk has occurred before its impact is discovered.Short Period - Low DormancyManageability - Ease with which the risk can be managedHigher ease - Higher ManageabilityControllability - Degree to which the risk owner is able to control the risk outcomeDetectability - Ease with which the results of the risk can be detectedConnectivity - Extent to which the risk is related to other projectsStrategic impact - Potential for the risk to have positive or negative impact on Org goalPropinquity - Degree to which a risk is perceived to matter by Stakeholders. Used in Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis

Data Analysis technique Explores validity of assumptions and constraints to determine "which pose risk to the project" Validity of assumptions removes inaccurate, instable, inconsistent or incomplete assumptionsValidity of constraints may relax the limiting factor for the successful project Used in Identify Risks Process

Data Analysis technique Associated with one or more of the below costs Prevention cost: Costs related to prevention of poor quality (Conformance)Appraisal cost: Costs related to evaluating, measuring, auditing, and testing. (Conformance)Failure cost: Costs related to nonconformance. Cost of Conformance - Money spent to avoid failuresCost of Nonconformance - Money spent before or after the project because of failuresInternal failure - Discovered by the projectExternal failure - Identified by Customer

Data Analysis technique Financial analysis tool to estimate strengths and weakness of alternativesCompares the cost of quality step to expected benefit

Data Analysis technique Support selection of the best alternative course of actionDecision tree is evaluated by calculating Expected Monetary Value (EMV)
