|
WBS Dictionary
|
A document that describes each component in the WBS

Rolling wave planning
|
a form of progressive elaboration planning where the work to be accomplished in the near term is planned in detail… while the work far in the future is planned at a relatively high level… the detailed planning for work to be performed… in the near future is done as work is being completed during the current time period.
|
|
|
Critical Path Method
|
a schedule network analysis technique… and to determine the minimum total project duration.
|
|
|
Precedence Diagramming Method

|
|
Cost baseline
|
=Direct + Indirect Costs
