Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation:
Time box management is a project management technique for defining and deploying software deliverables within a relatively short and fixed period of time, and with predetermined specific resources. There is a need to balance software quality and meet the delivery requirements within the time box or timeframe. The project manager has some degree of flexibility and uses discretion is scoping the requirement. Timebox management can be used to accomplish prototyping or RAPID application development type in which key feature are to be delivered in a short period of time.
The following were incorrect answers:
Critical path Method -The critical path method (CPM) is an algorithm for scheduling a set of project activities
Gantt Chart -A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart, developed by Henry Gantt in the 1910s, that illustrates a project schedule. Gantt charts illustrate the start and finish dates of the terminal elements and summary elements of a project. Terminal elements and summary elements comprise the work breakdown structure of the project. Modern Gantt charts also show the dependency (i.e. precedence network) relationships between activities. Gantt charts can be used to show current schedule status using percentcomplete shadings and a vertical “TODAY” line as shown here.
Functional Point Analysis -Function Point Analysis (FPA) is an ISO recognized method to measure the functional size of an information system. The functional size reflects the amount of functionality that is relevant to and recognized by the user in the business.
It is independent of the technology used to implement the system.
