[Year 12 IT Apps] Scope of project management terms

[Mark]

Hi, workers,

I'm wondering how much depth and detail people are including in their
teaching of projman.

The study design for both SD and Info specifically includes the concepts of
 *milestones* and *dependencies*, so these obviously need to be covered in
your theory.

Question A5 in the SD sample exam questions
<http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Documents/exams/technology/it-softdev-specs-samp.pdf>
has
'distractor' options* naming *critical paths* and *resources*, which are
not named in the design, but are key projman concepts nevertheless.

If I were teaching, I'd find it hard not to be mentioning *successors* (to
complement 'dependencies') and *resources*.

But I'd force myself to leave out critical paths.
I wouldn't go near lead/lag time and PERT.

(O, dear PERT. Why did VCAA forsake you?)

* 'Distractor' - My term for a multiple choice option that is tempting, but
incorrect.
It is not to be confused with an Irish farmer pointing to his Massey
Ferguson.
