4.00 Project Management Reveiw

Craig needs to weld the car chassis together before Jim can install the engine. This represents a/an:

• abstract dependency

• discretionary dependency

• external dependency

• mandatory dependency

The project manager and team have created the schedule for the hospital wireless network upgrade project. The schedule includes a five-day delay for the network approval before the hospital can use the upgraded network. This causes the finish date of the project to slip by five days. This hospital network project is:

• accelerating

• forming

• lagging

• leading

Which process puts more resources on the critical path?

• crashing

• fast tracking

• leading

• shortening

Which process puts more resources on the critical path?

1. Activity e with preceding activities STart, and duration of 8 days

2. Activity F with preceding activities E and duration of 4 days

3. Activity G with preceding activities E and duration of 10 days

4. Activity H with preceding activities F and G and duration of 2 days

5. Activity I with preceding activities H and duration of 2 days

6. Activity J with preceding activities H and duration of 2 days

7. Activity K with preceding activities H and duration of 3 daus

8. Activity L with preceding activities I, J, and K and duration of 2 days

9. Activity M with preceding activities L and duration of 1 day

• 19 days

• 25 days

• 26 days

• 27 days

Which process requires the project manager to analyze the network diagram and sequencing to see whether any activities can be done in parallel on the critical path?

• crashing

• fast tracking

• leading

• shortening

In order to complete the finished attic remodel project on time, Brian decides to hang the ceiling fan while Petrina paints the walls. This is an example of schedule:

• crashing

• fast tracking

• leading

• shortening

It took Scott's team two hours to mow and edge one acre of land. He estimates that it will take his team eight hours to mow and edge four acres of land for an upcoming project. Scott's duration estimation for this project is an example of:

• bottom up estimating

• parametric estimating

• reserve analysis

• three point estimating

Craig would like to view a graphical representation of his project's work packages in a timeline bar chart format. Craig should create a:

• Gantt chart

• milestone chart

• project schedule diagram

• schedule compression

Due to a gasoline shortage, Ann is unable to secure the gasoline needed to fill up her tractor prior to planting. This is an example of a/an:

• abstract dependency

• discretionary dependency

• external dependency

• mandatory dependency

Maria determines the project duration by overestimating what she calculates by 15%. Maria is using:

• analogous estimating

• parametric estimating

• reserve analysis estimating

• three point estimating
