Answer 1

1. Stakeholders
2. Team
3. Development approach and life cycle
4. Planning
5. Project work
6. Delivery
7. Measurement
8. Uncertainty

Question 2

What are the characteristics of the domains:

Answer 2

• Run concurrently throughout the project
• Integrated system
• Interdependent, interconnected
• Activities determined by context, project approach, team, stakeholders

Question 3

What is the significance of tailoring in project management?

Answer 3

Question 6

Phases comprise

Answer 6

Answer 8

Exit criteria define when a phase is complete and when the project can move on to the next phase.

Question 9

Project approaches

Answer 9

• Predictive
• Adaptive
• Hybrid

Question 10

How does the predictive lifecycle differ from the adaptive lifecycle?

Answer 10

The predictive lifecycle follows a “plan it and do it” approach, typically resulting in one delivery, while the adaptive lifecycle involves iterative sprints that yield multiple deliveries.

Question 11

How does the context of a project influence activities?

Answer 11

The context, including the project approach, team, and stakeholders, determines how activities are executed and adapted throughout the project.

Question 12

Approaches are characterised by

Answer 12
