Planning and Control Using Microsoft Project 365 and 2021 - Workshop 09 - Constraints

The video tutorial covers project scheduling, focusing on setting constraints and managing negative float using a Gantt chart. It explains how to set bid submission constraints and adjust start dates for better supplier pricing. The tutorial also outlines five methods to bring a project back on time, such as shortening activity durations and adjusting calendars. Finally, it demonstrates reviewing and adjusting a bid document to manage project timelines effectively.

What is the purpose of setting a 'finish no later than' constraint in a project schedule?

• To prevent a task from starting before a certain date

• To ensure a task starts on a specific date

• To guarantee a task is completed by a specific deadline

• To allow flexibility in task completion

How does starting supplier quotes after Christmas affect the project timeline?

• It accelerates the project completion

• It extends the project end date by two days

• It shortens the project duration

• It has no impact on the project timeline

Which of the following is NOT a method to bring a project back on schedule?

• Shortening activity durations

• Adding more work time

• Increasing project scope

• Adjusting activity relationships

What is the effect of reviewing the bid document in two days on the project schedule?

• It creates a new critical path

• It eliminates all negative float

• It delays the project by a week

• It has no effect on the critical path

What happens if there is a delay in any activity on the critical path?

• The project gains additional float

• The project scope is automatically reduced

• The project end date remains unchanged

• The project end date is immediately delayed
