Random stuff I need to know before I give the exam

BCR - its revenue not profit
matrix power - less in weak, more in strong
balanced matrix - best for PM
PErT S curve - used for the cost baseline which is a time-phased budget for arctivities.
time and cost management - remember the formulas for cost
CPM - include buffers
GERT - allows loops
cost baseline - see S curve, does not include the management reserve. contingency reserve -> cost baseline -> management reserve -> cost budget
direct/indirect costs - direct -> team travel, training - indirect -> taxes, variable ->cost of materials, fixed -> setup, rental
conflict resoln - best
PM powers - expert and reward the best
Hertzberg - hygiene (salary), motivating agents (growth, responsibility)
McGregor - theory X and Y
Straight line depreciation - value
negotiation - means of negotiation
Ishikawa - fishbone, cause/effect
control chart - means, rule of seven, assignable cause
change control board - whoever important, should be on it
sensitivity analysis -
project interface
project expeditor/coordinator - Remember E then C, E no authority, C some authority. both report to a higher boss
difference between quality planning and quality control -


So this is an update. Now I guess I know the stuff.
