Head First PMP – Page 52

This looks tricky as you have to see it in different perspectives.

Think of the vacation we talked about on page 48 as a project, and each of its steps as a process. Here are some inputs, tools, and outputs that could be used in each of the vacation steps. Can you look at each of the underlined words and figure out if the words represent an input, tool, or output? (Here’s a hint: some of them are an output from one process and an input for another.)

1. You log in and check your company’s vacation calendar to see how much vacation time you have for you trip. (input)

2. You create an itinerary on a travel web site. You’ll use the itinerary when you board your flight. (tool)

3. You have some hotel reservation documents you created on the travel web site, too. You’ll use them when you check into your hotel. (output -> input)

4. You use a travel web site to book the place, hotel, and sights you’ll see on your trip. (tool)

5. You verify your bank account balance to make sure you have enough money to pay for everything. (input)

6. You use a hotel feedback web site to review your stay in the hotel once you get back home. (tool)
