What is the Total Float?

• Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed before affecting the end date

• Total float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed before affected a subsequent activity

• Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed before affected a subsequent activity

• Total float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed before affecting the end date

What is the Critical Path?

• The shortest duration through the activity network, which in turn defines the longest time the project can be completed in. There is float on the CP

• The longest duration through the activity network, which in turn defines the shortest time the project can be completed in. There is no float on the CP

• The shortest duration through the activity network, which in turn defines the longest time the project can be completed in. There is no float on the CP

• The longest duration through the activity network, which in turn defines the shortest time the project can be completed in. There is float on the CP

Explain Earned Value

• Looks at the value earned by the project by a point in time. Two key metrics are the Schedule Performance Index and the Cost Performance Index (SPI and CPI)

• Looks at the value spent by the project by a point in time. Two key metrics are the Schedule Performance Index and the Cost Performance Index (SPI and CPI)

• Looks at the value spent by the project by a point in time. Two key metrics are the Schedule Efficiency Index and the Cost Performance Index (SEI and CPI)

• Looks at the value earned by the project by a point in time. Two key metrics are the Schedule Efficiency Index and the Cost Performance Index (SEI and CPI)

Explain the SPI calculation

• Earned Value divided by Planned Value

• Planned Value divided by Earned Value

• Actual Cost divided by Earned Value

• Earned Value divided by Actual Cost

Explain the CPI calculation

• Actual Cost divided by Earned Value

• Earned Value divided by Planned Value

• Planned Value divided by Earned Value

• Earned Value divided by Actual Cost

What kinds of Delay analysis are you aware of?

• Time impact analysis, Time Slice Window, and Retrospective analysis

• Proactive analysis and Retrospective analysis

• Time impact analysis, Time Slice Window, Collapsed As Built, and Time Slice Analysis

• Time impact analysis, Time Slice Window, and Collapsed As Built

• Drop line, % Complete metrics, and Pie chart

What is time at large?

• When the EOT mechanism is broken and unenforceable meaning Completion is effectively whatever it ends up being. Removes obligation to pay LADs.

• When the EOT mechanism is intact and enforceable meaning Completion is effectively whatever it ends up being. Removes obligation to pay LADs.

• When the EOT mechanism is broken and unenforceable meaning Completion is effectively whatever it ends up being. Increases obligation to pay LADs.

• When the EOT mechanism is intact and enforceable meaning Completion is effectively whatever it ends up being. Increases obligation to pay LADs.
