• Management reserve.

• Contingency reserve.

• Top-down reserve.

• Risk allocation reserve.

257. All costs incurred over the life of the product by investment in preventing nonconformance to requirements, appraisal of the product or service for conformance to requirements, and failure to meet requirements.

258. Any activity on the critical path in a project schedule.

• Critical chain activity.

• Positive slack activity.

• Critical path activity.

• Negative slack activity.

259. The amount of time that a schedule activity can be delayed or extended from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint

• Free lag.

• Free float.

• Negative float.

260. An adaptive project life cycle in which the deliverable is produced through a series of iterations that successively add functionality within a predetermined time frame. The deliverable contains the necessary and sufficient capability to be considered complete only after the final iteration.

• Incremental life cycle.

• Waterfall life cycle.

• Critical path life cycle.

• Program life cycle.

261. An adaptive project life cycle in which the deliverable matures through a series of repeated cycles. The deliverable contains the necessary and sufficient capability to be considered complete at the end of each cycle. Each repeated cycle further enhances the capability of the deliverable.

• Project life cycle.

• Iterative life cycle.

• Product life cycle.
