Visual Glossary — High‑Frequency Exam Visuals

Each mini example includes a what it shows, when to use, and a short exam cue.

Quality Charts

Pareto (80/20) — Prioritize Vital Few
Causes sorted by frequency →

What: Bars sorted by frequency with a cumulative line to highlight the “vital few”.

Use when: You need to pick which defect categories to attack first.

Exam cue: 20% of causes ≈ 80% of problems. Often paired with Fishbone.

Control Chart — Process Stability
UCL LCL CL

What: Time-series of measurements vs. control limits.

Use when: Monitoring for special-cause variation.

Exam cue: Spec limits (customer) ≠ control limits (process capability).

Ishikawa / Fishbone — Root Cause
Effect

What: Cause categories feeding into an effect.

Use when: Brainstorming and organizing potential root causes.

Exam cue: Methods, Machines, Materials, People, Measurement, Environment.

Risk Tools

Probability–Impact Matrix — Qualitative Ranking
Impact → Probability ↑

What: Grid ranking risks by probability and impact.

Use when: Prioritizing risks for qualitative analysis; create a watch list for low priority.

Exam cue: Outputs feed into Plan Risk Responses (owners, strategies).

Tornado Diagram — Sensitivity (Quantitative)
Cost Duration Rate Scope

What: Bars sorted by impact width to show most sensitive variables.

Use when: Identifying which factors drive outcome variability.

Exam cue: Often appears with Monte Carlo and Decision Tree (EMV).

Decision Tree (EMV) — Choose Best Option
Start Option A Option B EMV = Σ(p×value)

What: Branches represent decisions and chance outcomes; expected value sums p×impact.

Use when: Comparing mutually exclusive alternatives under uncertainty.

Exam cue: Pick the option with highest EMV (unless risk policy dictates otherwise).

Schedule & CPM

Critical Path Network — Longest Path
A B C D

What: Precedence network showing dependencies.

Use when: Determining project duration and float.

Exam cue: Compression: Crashing (adds cost) vs. Fast Tracking (adds risk).

Gantt (Baseline vs Actual) — Tracking
Task A (baseline vs actual) Task B (baseline vs actual)

What: Bars show planned vs actual durations.

Use when: Communicating schedule performance at a glance.

Exam cue: Baseline changes only via Integrated Change Control.

Cost / EVM

S‑Curve — EV, PV, AC
EV/PV/AC trend

What: Cumulative curves for EV, PV, AC.

Use when: Assessing cost/schedule performance trends.

Exam cue: CPI=EV/AC, SPI=EV/PV, EAC≈BAC/CPI when variance persists.

Stakeholders & Roles

RACI — Role Clarity
Task Alice Bob Cara Diego Design R A C I Build A R I C

What: Responsibility Assignment Matrix—who’s Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed.

Use when: Planning resources and clarifying decision authority.

Exam cue: Ensure one A per task; avoid “multiple Accountables”.

Stakeholder Power/Interest Grid — Strategy by Quadrant
Low Pwr/High Int High Pwr/Low Int Interest → Power ↑

What: Classifies stakeholders to tailor engagement strategy.

Use when: Identifying and planning stakeholder engagement.

Exam cue: Strategies: Manage Closely, Keep Satisfied, Keep Informed, Monitor.
