Crosswind Exam Success Series:Quick Reference Guide

If used as a Brain Dump for a Certification Exam, we suggest you memorize the content to fit your study needs.

Planning Process Group

Conflict Resolution Types (HR)

Collaborating / Problem Solving Compromising / Reconciling Forcing / Directing - (Worst) Smoothing / AccommodatingWithdrawing / Avoiding

Types of Power for the Project Manager (HR)

Formal- (Given By Charter)

Expert- (Earned on Your Own)

Reward- (Best)

Penalty - (Worst)

Referent- (Presence Based)

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (HR)

Contract Types

Purchase Order

Time & Materials

FFP, FPIF, FPEPA (Focus on Scope Design) - Seller Risk

CPFF, CPIF, CPAF, CPPC (Focus on Scope Function) - Buyer Risk

Various Formulas

Weighted Averaging Simple AveragingPERT = (P+O+(4 x R))/6 3 Point Est. = (P+O+R)/3

Stand Dev = (P-O)/6 Variance = ((P-O)/6)2

Risk Response Strategies for Positive Risks

Share Joining with Someone to Maximize the ImpactExploit To Maximize the Impact of the RiskEnhance Taking Steps to Improve the Opportunity

TCPI/CPI Formula Similarities Cost Estimate Range Table

Estimate Name Range

Rough Order of Mag. (ROM)

Definitive (or Control)

-25% to +75%

-5% to +10%

Present-Future Value Formulas

n = # of periods PV = FV / (1+r)n

r = Interest Rate FV = PV X (1+r)n

Sigma Percentages

+/-1 = 68.26% +/-3 = 99.73%

+/-2 = 95.46% +/-6 = 99.9997%

Expected Monetary Value (EMV) =Probability (P) x Impact (I)

Accept : To Tolerate the Risk (Positive and Negative Risks)

Quality Processes: Q-PAC(Planning, Assurance, Control)

Communication Channels = (N x (N-1)/2)(N = Number of People)

PTA Variables

Ceiling Price = Percentage of Target Cost (TC)

Target Price = Target Cost + Target Profit

Target Cost = Expected Cost of the Work

Quality Tools

Fishbone Diagram = Problem Isolation

Scatter Diagram = Relationship Between Multiple Variables

Control/Run Chart = Output Over Time

Histogram Chart = Defect By Count

Pareto Diagram = Cumulative Defect By Count (80/20 Rule)

EV Formulas (Cost)

Earned Value (EV) = Percent Complete x Planned Value (PV)

Cost Performance Index (CPI) = EV/AC

Cost Variance (CV) = EV-AC

Schedule Performance Index

(SPI) = EV/PV

Schedule Variance (SV) = EV-PV

Estimate at Completion (EAC) = BAC/CPI

Estimate to Complete (ETC) = EAC-AC

Variance at Completion (VAC) = BAC-EACSum of PV = BAC

To Complete Performance Index (TCPI) = (BAC-EV)/ (BAC-AC) or (EAC - AC)

or

Remaining Work

Remaining Budget

Point of Total Assumption (PTA)

(Ceiling Price - Target Price)

Buyer Share+ Target Cost

Risk Response Strategies for Negative Risks

Avoid To Eliminate the RiskTransfer To Pass the Risk to Someone ElseMitigate To Minimize the Negative Impact

Earned Value(EV) Management Table 2

EAC = BAC : CPI

ETC = EAC _ AC

VAC = BAC _ EAC
