Project Management Interview Questions and Answers (12)

Applying knowledge, skills, tools, techniques in project and deliver project deliverables is
a short definition of project management.It’s basically managing project time, cost and
scope.

A stakeholder is anyone who has something to gain or lose as a result of the completion or failure of this project or phase

It defines a logical closure of any deliverable or cycle. Example you have completed the
requirement phase with sign off from the client on the requirement document.So you put
a baseline and say that further any changes to this document are change request. Versioning
of source code is one type of baseline.

Effort Variance = (Actual effort – Estimated Effort) / Estimated Effort.

Normally change request are handled by preparing an Impact analysis document and then doing re-estimation

UTP (Unit Test Plan) are done at smallest unit level or stand alone mode. UTP can be done using NUNIT. Unit testing is done normally by developers.

The waterfall model is a sequential software development process, in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards (like a waterfall) through the phases of Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design (validation), Construction, Testing and maintenance.

The V-model is a software development process which can be presumed to be the extension of the waterfall model. Instead of moving down in a linear way, the process steps are bent upwards after the coding phase, to form the typical V shape. The V-Model demonstrates the relationships between each phase of the development life cycle and its associated phase of testing.

The Dual Vee Model, like the V-Model is a systems development model designed to simplify the understanding of the complexity associated with developing systems. In systems engineering it is used to define a uniform procedure for product or project development.

The model addresses the necessary concurrent development of a system’s architecture with the entities of that architecture and illuminates the necessary interactions and sequences recommended for orderly maturation of a system and systems of systems. This article explains the power of the Dual Vee Model when applied as a reminder model for development of complex systems.

SDLC - stands for Software Development Life Cycle. It can be divided in to 7 phases they are:

1.Preliminary Investigation (Feasibility Study).
2.Requirement Analysis (Analysis).
3.Design of the System.
4.Software Construction.
5.System Testing.
6.System Implementation.
7.System Maintenance.
