 Integration:
o Tools and Techniques are same for all the processes, except Develop Project charter has "Project Selection Methods" and Monitoring
and Control project work has "Earned value technique".
o Remember there is no Expert Judgement in Direct and Execute project Work.
Scope:
o Scope Definition TT is APES ( Alternatives Identificaiton, Product Analysis, Expert Judgement and Stakeholder Analysis )
o Scope Verification has only one TT which is Inspection. The only other place where you will find Inspection as TT is in Quality
Control process.
Time:
o Activity Attributes is updated in all the process except in Activity Definition where it is created.
o Memorize TT for Schedule Development
o Activity Definition TT are PERTD ( Planning component, Expert Judgement, Rolling wave planning, Templates, Decomposition )
o Schedule Control TT are PS PS PV ( Progress reporting Schedule Change control System, Performance Measurement,Schedule
comparision Bar charts, PM software Variance analysis )

Cost:
o Memorize TT For Cost Estimating. Remember that this overlaps with Activity Duration Estimate process.
o Cost budgeting has Funding Limit Reconcilation as TT which produces output Project funding requirements
o Cost Management plan is updated in Cost Estimating process
Quality:
o Quality Planning creates 3 plans in output and 3 other outputs which start with Quality.
o TT for Quality planning is ABCDC
o QC has all the outputs of QA + 6 more outputs.
o There are 10 TT for QC. Out of which there are 7 Tools for QC. Remember Inspection appears as TT here and only other place it
appears is in Scope verification
HR - Constraints for HR Planning are C E O ( Collective bargaining agreements, Economic condition and Organizaiton Structure )
Risk
o First 4 processes have only one output.
o Risk Register is updated in all the processes after its created.
o We recommed that you memorize ITTO for Risk Management process
Procurement:
o This is a tough chapter and we recommend you keep your focus here and try and memorize as much as you can.

General Guidelines:
This is the best way to address ITTO. You should try to memorize it at artifact level, instead of process level. Meaning you should know everything
that happens with Project Charter, WBS, Contract and so on. If you remember this then you will be able to answer many questions in exams.
 Project Charter is input for only following:

Preliminary Scope Statement

Scope Planning
Scope Definition.
Resource Calendars - There may be questions in exam asking you about resource calendar. You should remember that it is
o Input for Activity Duration Estimates, Schedule Development and Cost Budgeting
o Activity Resrouce Estimates have Resource calendars as outputs.
Project Calendar: Talking about calendars, remember that project calendar is updated in Schedule Development.
Scope Statement - is input to all the planning processes after its created except
o Activity Resources Estimating
o HR Planning
o Risk Resonse Planning
o Plan Contracting

Remember that Scope Statement is updated in Integrated Change control process, Create WBS and Scope control
WBS and WBS dictionary are inputs to
o Scope control
o Activity Definition
o Cost Estimating
o Cost Budgetting
o Plan Purchases and Acquisitions

Remember that Scope Verification only has WBS Dictionary as input not WBS.
All Monitoring and Control Processes Except ( Integration Management & Manage Stakeholders ) will have following 4 outputs:

Requested Changes
Recommeded Corrective Actions
Project Management plan ( Updates) ( Except in Performance Reporting )
Organizational Process Assets ( Updates)

PAW - Scope control, Cost Control, Risk Monitoring and control and Contract Administration processes have PAW in Inputs :) . PAW stands
for Performance Reporting, Approved change requests and Work Performance Information. The other M & C Processes have two of PAW
inputs except ( Integration Management & Manage Stakeholders )
o You can remember this as SCRC has PAW
 Recommeded Preventive Actions: This occurs in only 4 processes - Monitor and Control Project work, Risk Monitoring and Control,
Quality control and Manage project team.
Recommeded Defect Repair is output of only two processes
o M & C project work
o Quality Control

Cost of Quality - Input to Quality Planning and TT For Cost Estimating.

Forecasting
o Forecasts are outputs of M & C project work and Performance Reporting
o Forecasted completion is output of Cost control and input to Performance Reporting
o Forecasting is TT for Cost Control
Five outputs of Direct and Manage Project Execution are inputs to Quality Assurance namely
o Implemented Change requests,
o Implemented Corrective actions
o Implemented Preventive actions
o Implemented Defect Repair.
o Work Performance Information.
Contract which is output of Select Selles process is input to Contract Administration and Cost budgeting

Tips for Memorizing ITTOs

Here are some pneumonics to memorize ITTOs

* Tips are provided only for Tools and Techniques (except for Integration and Scope)

Project Integration Management

INPUTS
- OPA is common for all processes
- EEF is common for all processes except 4.6 Close Project or Phase
TOOLS & TECHNIQUES
- EJ for all processes
- All processes have only 1 TT except 4.3 Direct & Manage Project Execution and 4.5 Perform Integrated Change Control, which have
Project Management Information System and Change Control Meetings, respectively

Project Scope Management

INPUTS
- Requirements Documentation is for all processes except 5.1 Collect Requirements
TOOLS & TECHNIQUES
- 5.2 Collect Requirements
.1 Interviews
.2 Focus groups
.3 Facilitated workshops
.4 Group creativity techniques
.5 Group decision making techniques
.6 Questionnaires and surveys
.7 Observations
.8 Prototypes

Here is a technique.
* 1-to-1 = Interviews
* 1-to-5 = Focus Groups
* 1-to-15 = Facilitated Workshops
* 1-to-50 = Questionnaires and surveys
* Think of Focus Group - think of two group techniques, "creativity" and "decision making"
We are left with two,
* Observations - think of job-shadowing
* Prototype - think of Concept Cars

- 5.2 Define Scope

F Facilitated Workshop
A Alternatives Analysis
P Product Analysis
E Expert Judgment

You can remember it as For All Project Experts

Project Time Management

6.1 Define Activities

.1 Decomposition
.2 Rolling wave planning
.3 Templates
.4 Expert judgment
You can remember it as "DERT"

6.2 Sequence Activities

How does it relate to Risk?
Risk is an uncertain event - DICE represents uncertainity
and it has a negative connotation and when it happens, the outcome is SADness

Project Procurement Management

12.2 Conduct Procurements
Think about the chronology of procurement
1. You search for potential sellers - 2. If you don't find what you need, you place ads - Advertising
3. Then, after you have a list of sellers, you evaluate them - Proposal Evaluation Techniques
4. Then, to find out if the price quote was good you use - Independent Estimates
5. With all the above information, then you go to experts in your company - Expert Judgment
6. to evaluate sellers - Proposal Evaluation Technique
7. After you zero out sellers, you bargain - Procurement Negotiations

12.3 Administer Procurements

There are 3 Actions and 4 Systems
Actions:
1.Procurement Performance Reviews
2.Performance Reporting
3.Inspections and Audits

Systems:
1.Contract Change Control Systems (CCCS)
2.Payment Systems
3.Claims Administration (system)
4.Records Management system (RMS)
