1. 1. The first process involved in project time management is .
c. planning schedule management
2. Which of the following processes in project time management involves identifying the specific tasks that the project team members and stakeholders must perform to produce the project deliverables?
a. Defining activities
3. In project time management, which of the following processes generate the main outputs of an activity list, activity attributes, and a milestone list?
b. Defining activities
4. In project time management, which of the following processes primarily involve identifying and documenting the relationships between project activities?
b. Sequencing activities
5. In project time management, which of the following processes involve calculating the number of work periods that are needed to complete individual activities?
d. Estimating activity durations
6. In project time management, which of the following processes involve analyzing activity sequences, activity resource estimates, and activity duration estimates to create the project schedule?
b. Developing the schedule
7. In project time management, the process of primarily involves checking and managing changes to the project schedule.
c. controlling the schedule
8. In project time management, a(n) is an output of controlling the schedule
b. project management plan update
9. Which of the following documents is most likely to include planned project start and end dates which serve as the starting points for a detailed schedule?
d. Project charter
10. Which of the following is a difference between an activity list and an activity attribute?
d. An activity attribute provides more schedule -related information about each activity than an activity list.
11. A(n) on a project is a significant event that normally has no duration.
a. milestone
12. In project time management, the main goal of is to ensure that the project team has complete understanding of all the work they must do as part of the project scope so they can start scheduling the work.
a. defining activities
13. In project time management, the next step after defining project activities is:
b. determining their dependencies.
14. Which of the following types of dependencies are inherent in the nature of work being performed on a project?
a. Mandatory
15. dependencies are sometimes referred to as soft logic and should be used with care because they may limit later scheduling options.
b. Discretionary
16. Which of the following dependencies involve relationships between project and non-project activities?
c. External
17. In an AOA network diagram, occur when two or more activities follow a single node.
d. bursts
18. A network diagramming technique in which boxes represent activities is known as a(n) .
a. PDM
19. AOA network diagrams use only dependencies.
b. finish -to-start
20. Which of the following is a relationship in which the “from” activity cannot start until the “to” activity is started?
a. Start -to-start
21. Which of the following is true of a finsih-to-finish dependency?
c. It is a dependency in which the “from” activity must be finished before the “to” activity can be finished.
22. Which of the following is true of dummy activities?
b. They show logical relationships between activities.
23. Which of the following is one of the main outputs of estimating activity resources process?
a. Project documents update
24. After working with key stakeholders to define activities and calculate their resources, the next process in project time management is to:
d. estimate the duration of activities.
25. In project time management, the ultimate goal of is to provide a basis for monitoring project progress for the time dimension of the project.
c. developing a schedule
26. provide(s) a standard format for displaying project schedule information by listing project activities and their corresponding start and finish dates in a calendar format.
a. Gantt charts
27. Which of the following is a network diagramming technique used primarily to predict total project duration?
b. Critical path analysis
28. The critical path is the path through a network diagram, and it represents the amount of slack or float.
b. longest; shortest
29. The amount of time an activity can be delayed without delaying the early start date of any immediately following activities is known as a .
d. free slack
30. is the amount of time an activity can be delayed from its early start without delaying the planned project finish date.
a. Total slack
31. The for an activity is the latest possible time an activity might begin without delaying the project finish date.
c. late start date
32. The technique for making cost and schedule trade -offs to obtain the greatest amount of schedule compression for the least incremental cost is known as .
b. crashing
33. Which of the following techniques involve doing activities in parallel that one would normally do in sequence?
c. Fast tracking
34. A similarity between the crashing technique and the fast tracking technique is that:
c. both can shorten the time needed to finish a project.
35. Critical chain scheduling protects tasks on the critical chain from being delayed by using , which consist of additional time added before tasks on the critical chain that are preceded by non-critical -path tasks.
b. feeding buffers
36. states that work expands to fill the time allowed.
c. Parkinson’s Law
37. A difference between the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and critical path method (CPM) is that:
d. PERT uses different duration estimates whereas CPM uses one specific duration estimate.
38. Which of the following is a silimarity between scope control and schedule control?
c. Both are portions of the integrated change control process under project integration management.
39. Which of the following is an output of schedule control?
a. Lessons -learned reports
40. A draft schedule for a project is most likely to be found in a .
b. project charter
