What is not true about planning in OUM?
A.
OUM has been developed with the intent that the approach for a given project be built up from a
core set of activities.
B.
Projects should be tailored down from the full OUM work breakdown structures.
C.
OUM takes an iterative and incremental approach to planning a project.
D.
Tasks within OUM are considered place holders for work.
Explanation:
Incorrect:
Not A: OUM is designed to support a broad range of project types. As such, it must be flexible and
scalable. The appropriate point of balance for a given project will vary based on a number of project
risk and scale factors. The method has been developed with the intent that the approach for a givenproject be “built up” from a core set of activities to implement an appropriate level of discipline,
rather than “tailored down”.
Not B: OUM facilitates improved control of project expenses by using a flexible work breakdown
structure that allows you to perform only necessary tasks.
Not C: 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.
