PMI SP Schedule Monitoring and Controlling

Can a network diagram have multiple critical paths

• Yes

• If it has multiple critical paths it means there is incorrect logic

• Never possible to have multiple critical paths because scheduling tools will not allow you to do it

• Yes, it is recommended to have just to have a backup plan

• We need management approval to have multiple critical paths

Can a project have multiple critical paths?

• No

• Yes

• Yes, but project team need to choose one as critical

• No, project team members will not give logic which will lead to multiple paths

Which scheduling technique allows for the optimization of project schedules by iterating through various scenarios?

• Critical Chain Method (CCM)

• Resource Leveling

• Monte Carlo simulation

• Precedence Diagramming Method (PDM)

A milestone doesn't have

• zero duration

• duration

• accountability

• linkage in schedule

• Resources

What is the purpose of a single milestone in project scheduling?

• To find out project start and end date

• To track progress and performance

• To allocate resources and estimate project costs effectively

• To identify risks and uncertainties

• To find out project end date

Which of the following is a common quantitative technique used in schedule risk analysis?

• Expert judgment

• Monte Carlo simulation

• Critical Path Method (CPM)

• Schedule compression

Which of the following is NOT a common qualitative technique used in schedule risk analysis?

• Risk categorisation

• Probability-impact matrix

• Delphi technique

• Resource levelling

Which of the following is a common output of schedule risk analysis?

• Project charter

• Risk mitigation plan

• Schedule baseline

• Cost management plan

Which of the following is a commonly used performance measurement technique for tracking schedule performance?

• Earned Value Management (EVM)

• Pareto Analysis

• Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

• Fishbone Diagram

What is the purpose of updating and reviewing the project progress?

• To assess project risks and uncertainties

• To determine project costs and budget variances

• To measure and report on the actual progress of the project (Plan Vs Act)

• To allocate resources to project activities
