Product Analysis

In projects that deliver a tangible product, a scope-definition technique that uses structured inquiry to document intended use, functions, features, quality and performance attributes, interfaces, constraints, and other details of the item to be produced.

Key Points

  • Clarifies product scope by examining how the product will be used and what characteristics it must have.
  • Engages stakeholders through techniques such as interviews, workshops, prototyping, functional analysis, and value analysis.
  • Produces tangible outputs like the product scope description, detailed requirements, acceptance criteria, and inputs to the WBS.
  • Commonly applied during Define Scope and revisited when changes affect product features or performance targets.

Example

A team planning a wearable fitness tracker conducts product analysis to specify battery life, sensor accuracy, water resistance, mobile app interfaces, regulatory compliance, and acceptance criteria. The results feed the product scope description and guide the WBS decomposition.

  2. Product analysis
  3. Variance analysis
  4. Reserve analysis

Correct Answer: B — Product analysis
