• Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, and Maintenance

• Initiation, Development, Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance

• Initiation, Planning, Execution, and Review

• Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring, and Close

What is the purpose of project management software?

• To create unnecessary delays in projects

• To assist project teams throughout a project

• To complicate project management

• To increase the budget of the project

Which tool can be used for planning the timescales of a project?

• Gantt Chart

• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

• Performance Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)

• Critical Path Method (CPM)

What is the main difference between CPM and Gantt chart?

• CPM is used for resource allocation, while Gantt chart is used for scheduling tasks

• CPM is a hierarchical diagram, while Gantt chart is a network activity diagram

• CPM is used for scheduling tasks, while Gantt chart is used for resource allocation

• CPM is used for non-repetitive projects, while Gantt chart is used for repetitive projects

Why is PERT more appropriate than CPA for a software development project?

• PERT is suitable for repetitive projects

• PERT provides definitive times for each task

• PERT is based on estimates of time

• PERT is used for non-repetitive projects

How can a work breakdown structure (WBS) help a project team?

• By increasing the number of tasks in the project

• By creating unnecessary delays in the project

• By breaking the project down into manageable tasks

• A type of project management software

• A method for allocating resources

• A point at which a key part of the project has been completed

What is the purpose of a Gantt chart?

• To create a hierarchical decomposition of the project

• To identify the critical path of the project

• To estimate the time for each task

• To show the start and finish dates of each task

What is the critical path method (CPM) used for?

• To create a hierarchical decomposition of the project

• To estimate the time for each task

• To find the project's critical path

• To show the start and finish dates of each task

What is the most optimistic time used for in PERT?

• To estimate the time for each task

• To create a hierarchical decomposition of the project

• To identify the critical path of the project

• To assume that everything will go right
