Project risk audits are usually only performed during project execution.

If EV is greater than the PV, then SV is positive and the project is ahead of schedule.

The pragmatic philosophy of control is best suited for large projects.

Perhaps the most important aspect of successful project management is:

_________are documented and authorized guidelines that are intended to reduce the probability of negative consequences to the project due to identified risks.

Earned value management measures project performance over time, and provides a way to forecast future performance base on_________ .

Recommended corrective actions are documented recommendations needed to bring future project performance into conformance with the project management plan.

The post- implementation review is part of the end report.

Communicating bad news up the hierarchy is also known as _________.

A __________ is a document that is usually completed 6- 12 months after implementation as a check on whether the outcomes of the project were as expected, whether ongoing costs are as expected, and whether implementing the product yields net benefits.

Project control techniques span all preceding project life cycle phases, as well as overlap with many project management knowledge areas.

A network diagram can be used to compare the planned and actual project schedule information.

Approved preventive actions are documented and authorized guidelines necessary to bring future performance into conformance with the project management plan.

A(n)_________contains a record of the project management techniques employed over the course of the project, surveys, and outstanding items that still need to be resolved.

_________is a formal process for assuring that only agreed- upon changes are made to the project's scope.

_________is the process of identifying, analyzing, and planning for new risks, keeping track of identified risks, reanalyzing existing risks, monitoring trigger conditions for contingency plans, monitoring residual risks, and reviewing the executing of risk responses.

A personal log can be kept in the form of notes, voice recordings, or even in a journal or diary form.
