Correct Answer: BC

The goal of the Elaboration phase is to develop the detailed requirements, partition the solution, create any

necessary prototypes, and baseline the architecture of the system. This effort results in a stable basis for

the design and implementation effort in the Construction phase. The architecture evolves from the most

significant requirements(B), those that have the greatest impact on the architecture of the system, and an

assessment of risk. The stability of the architecture is evaluated through one or more architectural

prototypes. During the Elaboration phase, the project team's understanding of the client's business

requirements is verified to reduce development risk.

Our next step is to eliminate activities/tasks that are not needed. Consider the following:

D:Finally, you should consider whether it is advisable or appropriate to combine tasks or to execute your

project using OUM's activities ?which are groupings of tasks.

Correct Answer: DEF

Project management enables the project manager to manage delivery of an agreed upon level of solution quality while planning for and controlling the scope, cost, and schedule. The Manage focus area has three phases: Project Start Up Phase Project Execution and Control Phase Project Closure Phase

Correct Answer: A

Iterative and Incremental OUM recognizes the advantages of an iterative and incremental approach to development and deployment of information systems. Any of the tasks within OUM may be iterated. Whether or not to iterate, as well as the number of iterations, varies. Tasks may be iterated to increase quality of the work products to a desired level, to add sufficient level of detail, or to refine and expand the work products on the basis of user feedback

Correct Answer: ADE

The Envision focus area provides a framework for development and maintenance of enterprise levelIT strategy, architecture, and governance(E). The Envision guidance helps project team's transition fromenterprise-level planning and strategy activities to the identification and initiation of specific projects

(A).

The Envision focus area consists of two phases:

*Initiate

*Maintain and Evolve

Correct Answer: A

In OUM, this principle is extended to refer to the execution of the method processes themselves. Project managers and practitioners are encouraged to scale OUM to be fit-for- purpose for a given situation. It is rarely appropriate to execute every activity within OUM. OUM provides guidance for determining the core set of activities to be executed, the level of detail targeted in those activities and their associated tasks, and the frequency and type of end user deliverables. The project workplan should be developed from this core. The plan should then be scaled up, rather than tailored down, to the level of discipline appropriate to the identified risks and requirements.

Note: *To develop our Project Workplan, we have several options. We can employ a top-down approach and start with all of OUM and tailor it down. We can employ a bottom-up approach and start with the Core Workflow and build up from there. The best approach is probably to start with the workplan that most closely matches our engagement and tailor up and down. That is, immediately tailor down to a pre-tailored Workplan and continue to tailor from there based onthe requirements of the engagement, while simultaneously keeping in mind the Core Workflow and building up from there.

*tailoring of the actual OUM Project Workplan for your project for activities and tasks (tailoring steps 2.0 through 5.2) including tips for applying a bottom-up as well as a top-down technique for tailoring the Project Workplan. For our example, we are starting with the OUM Project Workplan that is located in the Method Resources section of the Key Components of most view pages. In OUM 5.6, a new Project Workplan template was introduced with pre-tailoring capability for most Implement views.

Correct Answer: CD

There are two plans active in the project at any given time ?the implementation plan and the iteration plan.

Correct Answer: A

The Manage focus areais organized into 13 processes.

Collectively, these processes form a comprehensive set of tasks required to manage Oracle- based development and implementation projects. Every project includes most, if not all, of these processes,whether they are the responsibility of a consulting organization, a client organization, or a third party.

Correct Answer: D

Note: The purposeof the Project Execution and Control Phase is to provide adequate visibility into actual progress so thatmanagement can take effective actions when the project's performance deviates significantly from theproject plans. The Project Execution and Control Phase includes tracking and reviewing the projectsaccomplishments and results against documented WBS, project estimates, time schedule, resourcesplan, and cost budget, and adjusting these plans based on the actual accomplishment and results.
