STUDY GUIDELINE & INSTRUCTIONS

Hello ! Welcome to the best Practice Survey.

Measuring project performance relies on a couple of important components. Clearly, you need a set of accurate baselines. If your starting point keeps changing, you will never really know how well you are progressing. The lack of distinct baselines can also mask issues and take longer for problems such as overruns to become clear.

To do: Please make a selection for all 12 statements. Once you are done, press the button "View Feedback" -from the Progress and Grade Panel below- to see where you stand and get the corresponding feedback.

When you are done with reviewing feedbacks, make sure to press "Update My Grade" to complete this activity and earn allocated credits.

  IMPORTANT: Do not close this window before you are done with answering all questions. Closing this window before updating your grade will result in full reset of all your current answers.

CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS SURVEY

Critical Factor #1: Scope Management
Statement #1

I am skilled at managing baselines for my projects, which include the project budget, project schedule, and scope documents.

Statement #2

What importance does management in my organization place on tracking scope as part of overall project performance?

Statement #3

How often is my project scope reviewed, to include all scope documents, the project charter, and the work breakdown structure (WBS) and WBS dictionary?

 

Critical Factor #2: Cost Management
Statement #4

My organization uses a standard format for budgets, committed costs, and actual costs, so that senior management can look across projects easily.

Statement #5

Scope items on my project are reviewed on a regular basis and any concerns of “scope creep” with cost impacts are quickly addressed.

Statement #6

How important are regular updates to the cost plan in your organization? Do you track costs on an ongoing basis to avoid surprises?

 

Critical Factor #3: Schedule Management
Statement #7

I effectively manage schedule conflicts to the person level, and I incorporate resource calendars to be sure my schedules are as accurate as possible.

Statement #8

I regularly ask my team members for schedule progress information, and I become concerned when I hear tasks are 90% done or “almost done” week after week.

Statement #9

I avoid schedule conflicts by balancing resources across activities, and regularly polling my team members for any issues that they are encountering with meeting deadlines.

 

Critical Factor #4: Change Management
Statement #10

Changes are quickly moved to the top of the priority list because I rely on earned value management and am confident in its benefits.

Statement #11

When changes occur on my project, I can readily determine the impacts because I have updated progress information on cost, schedule, and scope

Statement #12

How important is the use of a project management information system to accurately manage your project performance information?
